HC Deb 25 March 1898 vol 55 c912
MR. P. O'BRIEN

On behalf of the hon. Member for the St. Patrick's Division of Dublin, I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board when the Report of the Tuberculosis Commission will be issued; and whether any modification of prosecutions will be instituted pending its publication?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD

I have reason to believe that the Commission will agree to their Report at no distant date. I have no authority under which I could give any instructions as to prosecutions.

DR. R. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he will give facilities for the discussion of the Report when it is presented to the House?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD

That is a question which must be addressed to the Leader of the House; it is not a matter for which I am responsible.
