§ (In the Committee.)
§ Amendment made.
§ Bill reported.
§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)I observe that this Bill does not extend to Ireland, and as I find it has been recommitted, I wish to ask if the exclusion of Ireland was duly considered?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. STUART-WORTLEY) (Sheffield, Hallam)I believe so; but I have no knowledge of it myself.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYI will ask the question of the hon. Member for the Forest of Dean Division of Gloucester?
§ MR. BLAKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)The exclusion of Ireland was duly considered.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYI do not like to move that the Bill should apply to Ireland, as I am not sufficiently acquainted with the circumstances of our quarries; but I would like to ask whether the hon. Gentleman has considered the whole of the case of Ireland?
§ MR. BLAKEI had communications from several Irish Members that the Bill would be opposed if it was proposed to extend it to Ireland.
§ Bill, as amended, to be considered Tomorrow.
