§ THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.There is no intention to introduce legislation dealing specially with this particular case. If the hon. Member wishes to ascertain what are the intentions of Government with regard to any measure dealing with local taxation generally he should address his Question to the Prime Minister.
