§ MR. J. G. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I represent a constituency where there is poverty similar in character to that which prevails in the west of Ireland, and I sympathise with the Irish Members in their appeal to the Government to make a satisfactory inquiry into these matters. The method of conducting inquiries through the police and landlords' agents or factors, whether in Ireland or in Scotland, is not satisfactory. The Irish Members are dissatisfied with these reports, which are not considered to be impartial, and I would suggest that some arrangement be made whereby a few members of the Manchester Relief Committee, with others added, would inquire on the spot into the state of affairs in the west of Ireland, and present a Report to the Chief Secretary. That Report, I have no doubt, would be accepted as satisfactory by many Members, who would feel that it was an impartial one. I think it is a serious state of matters when, in view of the enormous amount of money which the Chancellor of the Exchequer receives, a few thousand pounds cannot be freely given to alleviate distress and suffering, not only in Ireland, but in the western Highlands.
