§ MR. M. J. KENNY (Tyrone, Mid)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord 1069 Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Government contemplate introducing during the present Session a Bill for the relief of glebe purchasers under the Irish Church. Act, whose position was described by his predecessor as "a particularly sad one;" and, if so, how soon will the Bill be introduced?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.), in reply, said, there was an express provision for the relief of glebe purchasers introduced into the Land Purchase Act of last year. He understood, from the Question of the hon. Member, that some further relief was required. He was not able to give any assurance on the subject, and could not undertake any legislation on it now.
§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)asked if the right hon. Gentleman would consider the propriety of extending the time of payment?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHsaid, he believed that that was precisely what was contemplated by the Bill of last Session.
