§ MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, When he hoped to be able to introduce the Drainage Bills of which he had given Notice?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)I have consulted with my right hon. Friend the First Lord of the Treasury; and we agree that the most convenient course would be to introduce the Bills as the first Order of the day on some Government afternoon, on the understanding, of course, that the discussion would not last very long. My right hon. Friend will announce the precise day on which he will take that course as soon as he can.
