HC Deb 28 June 1905 vol 148 cc382-3
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieu-tenant of Ireland whether he has received a copy of a resolution passed by the Longford Connty Council at their statutory meeting in favour of triennial revision of voters, jurors, and valuation lists, or in the alternative the paying of the costs of preparing these lists out of Government funds; and whether it is proposed to take any action in this matter.

MR. WALTER LONG

The suggestion conveyed by the resolution would involve Amendments in several Acts of Parliament and an alteration of the whole system of revision; and would apparently impose unfair burdens on the taxpayer. It is not proposed to take action in the matter.
