§ Considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§
Motion made, and Question proposed—
That it is expedient to authorise the payment, out of moneys to be provided by Parliament, of an annual sum, not exceeding £25,000, for the purposes of the Congested Districts Board (Ireland) Acts, including the payment of the salaries or remuneration of officers employed by the Board, and the administrative expenses of the Board, in pursuance of any Act of the present session relating to the Congested Districts Board (Ireland).
§ MR. CALDWELL (Lanark, Mid.)said he felt bound to enter a protest against the method adopted in those matters which affected both Ireland and Scotland. The Irish Bills were always brought forward, but the Scotch were left to take their chance.
§ DR. CLARK (Caithness)also protested, but raised no objection so long as an amount equivalent to that given to Ireland by this Bill was given to Scotland.
§ Resolution to be reported To-morrow.
