§ MR. MAURICE HEALYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is proposed, pending the passage of the Bill, to lay upon the Table a draft in a provisional form of the Local Government Board rules required to be made under the Bill and under the Orders in Council, drafts of which have been issued?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe work under the Registration Act and the preparation of the draft map relating to the alteration of boundaries have occupied so much of the time of the Local Government Board that they have not been able so far to approach the preparation of the rules referred to in the Question.
