§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the attention of the Local Government Board has been directed to the meeting of medical men at the Whitworth Hall, Drogheda, on the 27th November, when it was agreed not to accept the vacant Drumconrath dispensary at a less salary than £200 a year, and to the fact that the county Galway medical men at a meeting on the 26th November passed a similar resolution regarding vacant dispensary appointments in their county; and whether steps will be taken by the Local Government Board to secure the payment of larger salaries to Irish poor law doctors.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe reply to the first two inquiries is in the affirmative. In answer to the last inquiry, I refer the hon. Member to my reply to his similar question of the 6th November.†
