HC Deb 02 December 1902 vol 115 cc914-5
MR. T. M. HEALY () Louth, N.

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutentant of Ireland why the Local Government Board have not yet held the local inquiry into the present labourers scheme of the Newcastle West Union; and if will expedite matters so that the labourers may if possible obtain their plots before next spring.

(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The Board has not yet received the scheme referred to. Upon its receipt, and when the other preliminary requirements of the Labourers Acts have been complied with, the Board will lose no time in considering the question of holding a local inquiry.
