§ Considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§ [Mr. STUART WORTLEY (Sheffield, Hallam) in the Chair.]
§ Clause 1:—
§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)said he was sorry the Chief Secretary found it impossible to accept the Amendment which he had placed on the Paper, which would be of very great importance in many parts of Ireland where the Congested Districts had been very much neglected. He put down the Amendment because the county, part of which he represented, had been greatly neglected by the Congested Districts Board. If the Bill were passed as drafted, the result would be that the districts which most required development would not be looked after at all, as the County Councils would be precluded from expending money on them.
§ MR. BANBURY (Camberwell, Peckham)As the hon. Member is making a speech, I beg to move that progress be reported.
§ Committee report Progress; to sit again tomorrow.
