§ MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Local Government Board can state how many boards of guardians passed resolutions in favour of the Poor Law Superannuation Bill on the understanding that it would be no cost to the rates, and whether these unions will be informed by the Local Government Board that the Probate Duty Grant is a fixed grant, and that there are no separate payments from it for superannuation allowances.
§ MR. WYNDHAMSome sixty boards of guardians appear to have been influenced by the consideration mentioned in the first paragraph when passing 1325 resolutions in favour of the Bill. Pubricity has already been given to the facts leferred to in the second paragraph, and I do not think that further action is called for on the part of the Local Government Board.
