§ MR. DOLANTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Irish Local Government Board has advertised in
† See Col. 410.1204 English newspapers inviting designs from English architects for labourers cottages to be built in Ireland, which plans are intended to be stereotyped for use throughout Ireland; and whether, seeing that there are many architects in Ireland who are fully qualified and who have already built many labourers cottages under former Acts, he will take steps to secure that no outsiders will be imported to do work of this kind whilst there are qualified men to be had in Ireland.(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The advertisement to which the hon. Member refers invited from architects the submission of designs suitable for labourers cottages to be erected under the Labourers Acts. The advertisement did not specifically invite designs from English architects. It was inserted in thirteen Irish and three English newspapers, the latter being identified solely with the building trade and circulating in Ireland.
