HC Deb 18 February 1904 vol 130 cc259-60
MR. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any steps have been taken since last session, or are proposed to be taken during the present session, with a view to transferring the control of the Lower Bann River, county Down, from the Coleraine district to the Dundalk district.

MR. WYNDHAM

There is no proposal before the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction to transfer the control of the Lower Bann to the Dundalk Board of Conservators of Fisheries. I am inquiring whether such a transfer could be effected in the absence of legislation such as was introduced by me in 1902, and will communicate further with the hon. Member on the subject.
