§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked why the Local Government Board have refused to send to the Newcastle West District Council the Provisional Order made by their inspector in pursuance of an inquiry held by him on 31st October last into an improvement scheme made by the council under the Labourers (Ireland) Acts?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe making of the order by the inspector has in this and some other cases been deferred pending the provision by Parliament of additional funds for the purposes of the Labourers Acts, as no money is at present available for new schemes.
