HC Deb 12 June 1890 vol 345 c706
MR. DALTON (Donegal, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what is the cause of the delay in granting the sum of £116,000 recommended so strongly by the Light Railway Commissioners, and approved of unanimously by the Grand Jury of County Donegal at the last Spring Assizes, in favour of the Stranorlar and Glenties Line?

A LORD OF THE TREASURY (Sir H. MAXWELL,) Wigton

It is not possible for me at present to state the result of the consideration of the various railway schemes in Donegal.

MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

As the matter is of public interest, and large sums of money have already been invested by contractors in initiating schemes, will the Government be soon in a condition to announce what course will be taken?

SIR H. MAXWELL

I must ask the hon. and learned Gentleman to put his question to my hon. Friend the Secretary to the Treasury.
