§ MR. J. E. ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, When the presentation of the Return relating to the Royal Irish Constabulary for the year ending 31st March, 1888, ordered 20th February last, may be expected?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.) ,in reply, said, the Inspector General of Constabulary reported that this Return was in hand, and would be presented as soon as possible; but he was at present unable to specify the exact date. It was a difficult Return to prepare, as it differed from the form in which the accounts of the Department were kept; but it would be laid on the Table at as early a date as was possible.
