HC Deb 13 March 1891 vol 351 c924
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any artizans not belonging to the County of Mayo and district concerned are employed on the Westport and Mulranny line of Light Railway; and, if so, how many are thus employed?

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

I am afraid I am not in a position to give the hon. Member any information on this subject.

DR. TANNER

I will put the question down for next Friday.

MR. A J. BALFOUR

I shall not be able to give the hon. Member an answer, as the matter does not rest with me.

DR. TANNER

With whom does it rest then?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The persons who employ the labour.
