§ MR. WILLIAM MOORE (Antrim, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if, under the Labourers Bill, the accumulated funds now lying to the respective credits of the counties of Antrim and Down for the purposes of the Labourers (Ireland) Acts will be redistributed amongst other counties where the Acts have to a greater extent been availed of, or if such accumulated funds will be taken from the counties named for' any object.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The Labourers Bill, as introduced, makes no change so far as the existing reserve is concerned, but it will prevent the accumulation of any further reserve, as the full amount of the Exchequer grant available each year will be distributed.
