HC Deb 11 March 1847 vol 90 cc1224-5

On the Motion of the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, the report on the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill was further considered.

The EARL of LINCOLN

moved that in the 4th Clause, which enabled the Commissioners to advance money for works of improvement, the words "corn mills and farm buildings" should be omitted.

SIR R. PEEL

concurred in the Motion. They should teach the Irish to rely on themselves, and they would then have more corn mills and farm buildings erected than if the people looked to the Government for an advance towards that object.

The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

agreed to the Motion; and the words were accordingly omitted.

Report agreed to.

Bill to be read a third time.

House adjourned at One o'clock.
