HC Deb 10 June 1890 vol 345 cc579-80

Bill considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1.

MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

May I ask if the Bill extends to Ireland?

SIR J. LUBBOCK (London University)

It does not; but, if it had been possible, I should have been quite willing that it should.

MR. M. HEALY (Cork)

Will the title permit of an Amendment extending the Bill to Ireland?

THE CHAIRMAN

The title of the Bill is Public Libraries (England) Act Amendment Bill, so it would not be competent for the Committee to extend its operation to Ireland.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Thursday.
