HC Deb 27 July 1897 vol 51 c1241
MR. DALY

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, when framing the promised Local Government Bill for Ireland next Session, he will consider the desirability of settling the Irish grievance of deporting paupers from Great Britain to Ireland?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I am afraid that there will be difficulty in introducing provisions dealing with this subject in the Local Government Bill for Ireland, because among other reasons, the question affects the Scotch Office more than the Irish Office. But the Chief Secretary will consider the question when framing the Bill, and if the subject can be dealt with no doubt he will make proposals next Session.
