§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state what objection there is to publishing the reports of the inspectors who have recently been inquiring into the working of the Labourers Acts in Ireland.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe reports were made for the private information of the Local Government Board to supplement information already in its possession. It would be contrary to established practice to publish such reports, which are regarded as confidential.
§ CAPTAIN DONELANIn view of the approaching introduction of the Labourers Bill, is there any objection to publishing a summary of these reports?
§ MR. WYNDHAMPerhaps the hon. Gentleman had better wait until he has heard what I say in introducing the Bill.
§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)When will it be introduced?
§ MR. WYNDHAMAt the earliest possible opportunity.
