HC Deb 14 March 1907 vol 171 c213
DR. AMBROSE (Mayo, W.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a recent resolution of the Castlebar, county Mayo, Urban District Council complaining of the hardships inflicted on the labourers of urban districts, owing to their being debarred from the benefits of the Labourers Act of 1906; and would he introduce legislation so to amend the Act of 1906 as to enable labourers of urban districts to participate in its benefits.

(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The resolution in question has been received. As to the possibility of legislation, I am afraid I can add nothing to the reply which I gave to the Question of the hon. Member for Limerick on 26th February.†
