HC Deb 18 February 1898 vol 53 cc1045-6
MR. R. J. POWER (Waterford, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if it is proposed by the Local Government Bill for Ireland, to be introduced this Session, to pay half the county rate now levied in some counties on agricultural holdings towards payment of county and baronial guarantees to certain railways?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I must ask the hon. Member to wait for my statement on the Introduction of the Local Government Bill.
