HC Deb 01 April 1897 vol 48 c283
MR. JAMES DALY (Monaghan, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can say if he has conferred with the Lord Advocate for Scotland and the President of the Local Government Board, as promised in the Queen's Speech, with the view to preventing the deportation of paupers from Scotland and England to Ireland?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The Queen's Speech contained no promise of the nature indicated. I have been in conference with the Secretary for Scotland and the President of the Local Government Board, and the subject is still under consideration.
