MR. FIELDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire-laud whether any steps have been taken to prepare the Return granted respecting the valuations of electoral divisions of Parliamentary polling districts; and when may it be expected that it will be laid upon the Table of the House?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Commissioner of Valuation reported that the preparation of the Return referred to at the present time would necessitate the employment of additional clerks, and suggested that he might be allowed to defer it until about the 10th of July, when the present pressure on his Department would be relaxed and the work could be taken in hand by his permanent staff without extra expense. To this arrangement I have, under the circumstances, assented. The Commissioner expects to complete the Return by the end of July.
