§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he can state the cause of the delay in publishing the correspondence between the Fishguard and Rosslare Railway Company and the Treasury upon the proposed withdrawal of the company's pledge to construct the Cork and Fermoy Railway.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINI am not aware that there was any delay. The last letter in the correspondence is dated the 26th July; the Papers were moved for on the same day, and issued on the 3rd of this month.
§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)Is it not the fact that the letters, which were asked for a considerable time beforehand, were not issued until a fortnight or three weeks after the debate?
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINIf the hon. Member will refer to what took place he will find that is hardly a correct account of what took place. I did not actually promise the Papers, but I said I would consider whether anything could be done, but it was desirable that when correspondence was laid on the Table it should be complete.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYHave there been any other communications since the publication?
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINI have had a simple acknowledgment from the railway company of the receipt of the last letter included in the batch.
