MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state when the Report of the Irish Poor Law Reform Commission will be laid upon the Table.

CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Report of the Poor Law Reform Commission will be issued in time for action to be taken by Parliament, so that effect may be given to it at the forthcoming triennial elections for Poor Law guardians.

(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) Inquiries have been held by the Commission in every county in Ireland except Cork. The Commissioners hope to complete their inquiries in that county early in April. It is not at present possible to state, even approximately, when their Report will be issued.
