HC Deb 17 April 1905 vol 145 c314
MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will obtain information as to whether the chief clerk of the Agricultural Department acted wholly on his own initiative in sending for one of the Catholic gentlemen of the veterinary branch and endeavouring to induce him to withdraw from the signed representation which that gentleman, in common with other Catholics in the branch, had laid before the secretary.

MR. WALTER LONG

This Question was fully answered on the 1st March,† The chief clerk acted on behalf of the Department.
