HC Deb 17 May 1888 vol 326 c565
MR. LEA (Londonderry, S.)

I wish to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in the event of the House not sitting to-morrow, when he proposes to introduce the Irish Drainage Bills, and especially that relating to the drainage of the Bann?

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

I must be guided by the feelings of the Irish Members. If they will take it as a non-contentious Bill, and the House has no objection, my right hon. Friend is not indisposed to put it down for Thursday, the 31st, the day we re-assemble after the Recess?
