§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIEN (Tipperary, Mid)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce this session a Bill to amend the Labourers (Ireland) Acts, so as to widen their scope by embracing within their provisions as persons entitled to cottages and plots men living in hovels who are indirectly connected with agriculture, such as carpenters and other tradesmen who make and repair instruments of agriculture, and road workmen who render traffic of agricultural produce practicable.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe question of further legislation is, as I have already stated, under consideration. The suggestions of the hon. Member will, of course, receive attention, but I cannot at present make any more definite statement in the matter.
