HC Deb 31 July 1900 vol 87 c227

Considered in Committee, and reported, without amendment.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read the third time."

MR. MAURICE HEALY

I merely wish to ask the Government whether there is any hope of getting to the end of these continuous Poor Relief Bills for Ireland, and whether the Chief Secretary will make some attempt to codify the statute law.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, 228 N.

said that the codification of the Poor Relief laws was occupying the attention of the Government.
