HC Deb 02 April 1897 vol 48 c407
MR. DALY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland when he intends making a statement to the House regarding the prevention of deporting paupers from England and Scotland to Ireland?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I have already frequently told the hon. Member that this matter can only be dealt with by the Scottish Office and by the Local Government Board for England.

MR. DALY

I only want to know when the right hon. Gentleman will make a statement on the subject?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

It is not for me to make a statement. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will address his Question elsewhere.
