§ MR.THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland when he intends laying upon the Table the minutes of the various meetings of the Intermediate Board, held to discuss the proposals in the Resolution of the House of Commons of May 21st regarding their rules for 1907,† as well as all the correspondence which passed between the Irish Government and the Board on this subject.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Intermediate Board have been informed of the wish expressed in the House that the minutes mentioned in the Question should be presented to the House, and have been told that the Irish Government are willing that the minutes should be presented, and that, in order to enable them to do so, a copy should be supplied by the board. The reply of the board to this letter and the copy desired are now awaited. As respects the correspondence, the reply of the board to a letter sent to them by the Irish Government last Monday is now expected, and when it has been received I shall be in a better position to state the date at which the correspondence can be presented.
