§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to a resolution of the Clare County Council calling for the appointment of some representatives of the Irish salt butter industry on the Committee appointed to consider the butter trade; and whether the suggestion of the Clare County Council will be favourably considered.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverYes, Sir; but, as I have stated, my right hon. friend the Minister for Agriculture cannot consent to an increase in the number of Irish representatives. He proposes to deal with the difficulty by appointing on the Committee another member who will represent the consumers or the trade in this country.
