§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the recommendations of the Poor Law Reform Commission (Ireland) have been considered by the Government; and whether it is intended to appoint a temporary commission to assist in carrying out the changes incidental to the recommendations.
MR. BRYCEThe Report is not yet complete, seeing that the appendix and minutes of evidence referred to in it have not yet been submitted by the Commissioners. The Report will, as I have stated in reply to previous Questions, require very full consideration, and I do not anticipate that I shall be in a position to make a statement as to the intentions of the Government for some time to come.
