HC Deb 02 May 1898 vol 57 c29
MR. MACNETLL (Donegal, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the difficult and complicated character of the Local Government (Ireland) Bill, and the great number of statutes, 26 in number, incorporated in the Fourth Schedule of the Bill, and having regard to the labour entailed in searching through the Statute Book for the several sections of divers statutes, he will direct the various sections of the various statutes capable of being applied to be printed and circulated for the purpose of facilitating the work of interpreting the Bill?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

If the honourable Member will examine the draft Orders in Council he will see that the adopted provisions of the various statutes proposed to be applied are set forth therein in full.
