HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 c725
Mr. JEREMIAH MacVEAGH

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant whether his attention has been called to the appeal of the Parliamentary Committee of the Apothecaries Hall of Ireland for compensation for the losses likely to be sustained by that body in the operation of the Irish Universities Act; and whether, in view of the urgency of the representations, he will bring their appeal under the notice of the Treasury?

Mr. BIRRELL

I received a year ago an appeal from the directors of the Apothecaries Hall of Ireland for compensation for the losses which they anticipate, as a licensing body, owing to the operation of the Irish Universities Act. The appeal is not one which I can recommend to the consideration of the Treasury.
