HC Deb 18 March 1912 vol 35 cc1670-1W
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) if he has considered the advisability of extending Greenwich time to Ireland; will he say that no trades or industries are injuriously affected by the want of uniform time, more especially in respect of the use of the telephone and telegraph services, which are not available in Ireland until 25 minutes after the offices have been open in England, Scotland, and Wales; and will he give the matter his consideration?

Mr. T. W. RUSSELL

I have nothing to add to the replies given by my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to similar questions on this subject.
