HC Deb 17 October 1916 vol 86 cc396-7W
Mr. REDDY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Local Government Board for Ireland have recently notified the King's County County Council that all roads are to be advertised for tenders for contracts and that none should be worked by direct labour as has been done for ten years past; and, if so, what is the reason for this direction, and whether it will be revoked?

Mr. DUKE

No such notification as that given in the question has been sent by the Local Government Board.
