§ MR. MACVEAGHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Local Government Board has considered the suggestion of the Downpatrick Union that the numerous Rules and Orders issued prior to and since the passing of the Local Government Act, 1898, should be issued in volume form, and indexed, and circulated amongst public boards in Ireland.
§ MR. ATKINSONOn Thursday last † I referred the hon. Gentleman to three sets of Parliamentary Papers containing the Rules and Orders issued by the Board since the passing of the Act of 1898. These volumes, which are carefully indexed, are on sale and may be purchased by any local authority requiring them. The Government has no funds at its disposal for circulating the volumes amongst public boards free of cost.
