HC Deb 28 March 1898 vol 55 c1076
MR. DONAL SULLIVAN

On behalf of the hon. Member for Cork (Mr. MAURICE HEALY), I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is proposed to make provision for giving Clerks of the Peace any extra remuneration for the additional duties imposed on them in the preparation of the register of Local Government electors by the Registration Bill now being passed into law?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

This appears to be a matter for the Treasury to decide. Any representation submitted by the officials referred to, explaining the nature and extent of any additional duties that may be imposed upon them by the Registration Act, will, of course, be considered.
