§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Committee appointed to inquire into the working of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction has yet made its Report to the Lord-Lieutenant; and, if so, what is the reason for the delay in laying it upon the Table of the House, as was promised would be done when the Report was received.
THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BIRREILL, Bristol, N.)The Report of the majority of the Commissioners has now been received, but, as I have already informed the House, a minority Report is also to be presented. It seems desirable that the two Reports should be laid before the House at the same time. I am assured that the minority Report will be submitted in the course of next week, and I will then have both Reports presented to Parliament without delay.
