§ MR. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that the Belfast Water Commissioners 1462 object to the War Office taking up for military purposes that portion of the Mourne District, in county Down, which forms the catchment area of the Belfast waterworks, upon which about a million pounds have been expended in the interest of the health of the citizens of Belfast; and will the War Office scheme be persisted in, in the face of this complaint, while plenty of ground is available in other districts where no such objection exists.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMIt is not believed that the use of the land authorised by the Bill could affect injuriously the Belfast water supply. Every endeavour will, however, be made to meet the wishes of the Commissioners.
