§ MR. CAREW (Kildare, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether volumes which were sent in January last by the authorities of the National Library, Kildare Street, Dublin, to the Stationery Office, London, for the purpose of being 74 bound, have not yet been returned; whether frequent complaints have been made of the delay in binding volumes; and, whether they could not be bound more expeditiously in Dublin than in London?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir WILLIAM HART DYKE) (Kent, Dartford)(who replied) said: No complaints as to delay in binding volumes have been received at South Kensington for some years; but the authorities at Kildare Street, Dublin communicate directly with the Stationery Office, and therefore complaints may have been made without the Science and Art Department being aware of it. This shall he inquired into; but it is the Treasury, in concert with the Stationery Office, that decides all such matters.
