HC Deb 20 March 1902 vol 105 cc556-7
* MR. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the date of the application of the Great Northern Railway Company for the appointment of an arbitrator under the Railways (Ireland) Acts to hold an inquiry and make award in respect of the lands to be compulsorily acquired for the construction of the railway between Ballyroney and Newcastle; and what is the name of the arbitrator.

MR. WYNDHAM

No such application has been received, and no arbitrator has been appointed.

* MR. MACVEAGH

Is it a tact that the appointment rests with the Board of Works, and if so, what is this cause of the delay?

MR. WYNDHAM

No application has been received.
