HC Deb 11 August 1896 vol 44 c497
MR. W. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state what tenders were received in response to the invitation of the Irish Lights Commissioners for the Slyne Head boat contractor service from 1894 to 1895?

MR. RITCHIE

The only tender received in 1895 for the Slyne Head boat contractor service was that of John King, of Slackport, County Galway, referred to in my reply to the hon. Member on the 27th ultimo. This service has been undertaken by King for many years.
