§ MR. WEBB (Waterford, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a loan of £1,700 to the Dungarvan Town Commissioners, for the erection of labourers' dwellings, was sanctioned by the Local Government Board and Board of Works, and plans for same approved; whether upon such sanction and approval £275 was by said Commissioners paid for a site; and whether there is any and what reason for delay on the part of the Treasury in granting the necessary loan?
§ * THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) OldhamIt is true that the loan of £1,700 was sanctioned, as stated in the question, and it has now received the approval of the Treasury.
