HC Deb 28 May 1900 vol 83 c1520
COLONEL M'CALMONT (Antrim, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, under a sealed order of the Local Government Board (Ireland), dated 25th May, 1898, the area of charge for water supply to Greenisland and neighbourhood was fixed, and if it is competent now for the area to be extended over the dispensary district in which Greenisland is situated.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

Under the Public Health Amendment Bill which, I hope, will become law in the course of a few days it will be competent for the Local Government Board, with the consent of the Rural District Council, to alter an area of charge for special expenses under the Public Health Act. This provision will apply to the case of the Greenisland water supply.
