HC Deb 18 February 1898 vol 53 c1049
MR. M. DAVITT (Mayo, S.)

In the absense of my hon. Friend, Mr. DILLON, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland when he proposes to introduce the Irish Relief of Distress Bill?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I am not at present able to answer this Question, and there does not appear to me to be any urgency in the matter.
