HC Deb 27 May 1892 vol 5 c152

MOTION FOR A RETURN.

MR. TIMOTHY HEALY (Longford, N.)

As to the Motion which stands in my name for a Return in reference to Richmond and Mountjoy Prisons, I understand there is no objection to giving the information, but there is an objection in point of form. I would ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, if that is so, will he be good enough to put down the Motion in the form he desires it to take?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.

I think it will be more convenient in point of form if a Return is given by the War Office as to expenditure in which that Department is concerned, and I propose to furnish a statement which will, I hope, give the hon. Member all the information he desires.
