§ MR. WILLIAM MOORE (Antrim, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if any arrangements between the Irish Government and the body in Scotland responsible for the Scotch local authorities have been made limiting or preventing the deportation to Ireland from Scotland of Irish-born paupers; and, if so, what are the particulars of such arrangements.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURMy hon. friend appears not to be aware that in the year 1898 an Act was passed dealing with the removal of poor persons from Scotland to Ireland.
