HC Deb 24 March 1903 vol 120 c156
MR. NOLAN (Louth, S.)

said that when he gave notice of moving this Motion, he thought an opportunity would be afforded him of submitting this question to the judgment of the House. He thought those views were also entertained by hon. Members sitting on the Government side who represented Ireland, but he was sorry to find that they were not now sitting upon the Government Benches. It could not be said that this question of afforestation in Ireland was an unimportant one. All the writers upon this subject, and there had been many, were agreed that the question of afforestation in Ireland was one of the most important questions that could occupy the attention of any Statesman.

Notice taken that forty Members were not present; House counted, and forty Members not being present—

The House was adjourned at Eleven of the Clock till To-morrow.

Adjourned at Eleven o'clock.
