HC Deb 30 March 1897 vol 48 c106
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, when he proposes to introduce the Bill for the amalgamation of Poor Law Unions in Ireland; and, does he propose to refer the Bill to the Standing Committee or to the Committee of the whole House?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I hope to introduce the Bill some day before the Easter Recess provided I am able to do so after Twelve o'clock. The Bill is one which should be referred, after Second Reading, to the Standing Committee on Law.
