HC Deb 23 July 1897 vol 51 cc885-6
SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Kerry, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland when the Reports and Appendices of the Commission on Horse Breeding in Ireland will be laid upon the Table of the House?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

I am informed by the Secretary to the Commission that one of the two Reports has been completed, but that the other—to which I understand, the hon. Baronet is a signatory, has not yet been forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant. The Appendices are not yet fully printed. There will be no delay, however, in laying the Reports and Appendices on the Table of the House as soon as they have been received.
