DRAINAGE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL.

HL Deb 23 June 1892 vol 5 cc1791-2

REPORT OF AMENDMENTS.

Amendments reported (according to order).

Clause 9.

*THE MARQUESS OF WATERFORD

My Lords, I have a further Amendment upon the Paper, which I beg to move in consequence of the statement made by my noble Friend when we were discussing this Bill on the Second Reading. At that time I objected to a smaller sum than £100, which is the sum named under the present law, being applied to drainage and other improvements in Ireland; and my noble Friend stated that this clause only applied to buildings, to which I should have no objection; but I think it is a ridiculous thing to talk of creating a drainage district and allowing an advance of £50. I, therefore, beg to move the Amendment that stands in my name.

Amendment moved, in page 3, line 27, after ("loan") to insert ("for the erection of buildings").—(The Marquess of Waterford.)

EARL CADOGAN

My Lords, as I intimated on the last occasion that the Irish Government take the same view as the noble Marquess takes with regard to this clause, I see no objection to his Amendment if it is satisfactory to him.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 9, as amended, agreed to.

Bill to be read 3^a To-morrow.
