HC Deb 28 March 1898 vol 55 cc1065-6
MR. J. JORDAN (Fermanagh, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, seeing there is no reference to county infirmaries in the Local Government (Ireland) Bill, will he state his intentions in reference to the future position and administration of these useful institutions?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I answered this Question last Friday, when I said that if the Bill passes with reasonable speed the Government will bring forward a clause dealing with county infirmaries. I am not, however, in a position at this stage to state what form our proposals, if made, will take.
