§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Chief Secretary whether he will consider the advisability of withdrawing proceedings against the Kilmallock Rural District Council in connection with their refusal to put the Dairies and Cowsheds Order into force; and, having regard to the fact that every single ratepayer in the entire rural district is against putting this Order in force, and is determined to fight the matter out, will proceedings be withdrawn and thus prevent public money being wasted in legal proceedings?
§ Mr. BIRRELLOn 8th June the King's Bench Division granted a conditional order calling upon the Kilmallock Rural District Council to show cause why they should not comply with the Local Government Board's mandatory order requiring the council to put the Dairies Order in force. As the Council have decided to oppose the conditional order, the matter is at presentsub judice.
