HC Deb 25 June 1880 vol 253 c837
MR. MUNTZ

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If, in the event of the passing of the "Compensation for Disturbance (Ireland) Bill," provision would be made to enable landlords affected by the Bill to postpone the payment of tithe rent-charge, and other payments for which they are liable, by virtue of their holding such property, until the 31st December 1881?

MR W. E. FORSTER

Sir, I must observe to my hon. Friend that the question of this Bill will be before the House this afternoon. I cannot make such a provision as is suggested. I have no doubt the hon. Gentleman would wish me to give the reasons why; but really I must decline to do so pending the debate.
