§ MR. DALYI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can say if it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill this Session to prevent the deportation of paupers from England, Scotland and Wales to Ireland.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe subject, in my opinion, is well worthy of consideration, but I cannot hold out any hope of bringing in a Bill dealing with the matter in the present Session.
§ Mr. DALYIf a private Member introduce a Bill on the subject, will the right hon. Gentleman help to get it passed?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYPromises in favour of private Members' Bills are not promises which are readily made by the Leader of the House if he wants to lead a quiet life. [Laughter.] In any case I am afraid I could not promise anything in regard to a Bill, the terms of which are not before me.
