§ MR. R. POWER (Waterford)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, in view of the recent efforts made by the Government to encourage the breeding of horses in Ireland, and in view of the special importance of the breeding of that class of stock to Irish farming interests, he will exempt Ireland from the operation of the Horse Tax?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)None of the so-called establishment licences have extended to Ireland—at least, not in late times. It is not proposed to extend this tax for local purposes to Ireland.
