HC Deb 16 May 1905 vol 146 cc491-2
MR. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is in a position to state if any, and, if so, what, progress has been made with the Pirrie-Iveagh motor scheme during the past six months; and, if not, whether he can state if the scheme has been abandoned.

MR. WALTER LONG

I have nothing to add to the replies given by my right hon. and learned friend to the hon. Member's previous Questions of 2nd† and 9th March.†

MR. MACVEAGH

My Question deals with the last six months only.

MR. JOHN REDMOND

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the scheme has been abandoned?

MR. WALTER LONG

I am not sure. There was a condition that the county councils should make certain improvements of the roads, and that has not been acted upon.

MR. MACVEAGH

What progress has been made in the last six months?

MR. WALTER LONG

I believe none.
