HC Deb 07 August 1902 vol 112 cc966-7
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Government will consider the advisability of appointing a Commission of experts to inquire into and Report upon the best means of carrying out a survey of the mineral resources of Ireland.

MR. WYNDHAM

The new Department is at present engaged in an investigation of this character. I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of 26th May to the Question of my right hon. friend the Member for South Antrim on the same subject.
