HC Deb 05 July 1888 vol 328 c439
MR. W. A. MACDONALD (Queen's Co., Ossory)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, When the text of the Drainage Bills would be in the hands of hon. Members?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

The Drainage Bills will be in the hands of hon. Members in a day or two, and the delay has occurred because I have made a modification in the Bills. Owing to the criticism passed during the debate of the other night I have transferred the selection of members representing the upland from the Grand Jury to the Board of Guardians.
