§ MR. CHARLES CRAIG (Antrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland when he will be in a position to make a statement as to the intentions of the Government with reference to providing a remedy to the flooding of Lough Neagh and the River Bann.
MR. BRYCEThe Government are pursuing their inquiries in this matter, and a valuation is at present being made of the lands which would be beneficially affected by the adoption of Sir Alexander Binnie's drainage scheme, various aspects of which are being examined. I am not yet in a position to make a more definite announcement on the subject.
