§ CAPTAIN DONELANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieu-tenant of Ireland whether he is aware 547 that the drain of Irish emigration still continues; and what steps it is proposed to take to prevent the further decrease of the population of Ireland.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThere were fewer emigrants from Ireland during the past three months, as compared with the corresponding period of 1901. The official returns do not show to what causes emigration is due.
§ CAPTAIN DONELANMay I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman proposes to cure this admitted evil by coercion?
§ * MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
