HC Deb 17 February 1871 vol 204 cc377-8
MR. PIM

said, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government during this Session of Parliament to introduce any Bill to facilitate the Transfer of Land; and, whether such Bill when introduced will extend to Ireland and Scotland, or whether there will be separate legislation for each of the three Countries?

MR. GLADSTONE

, in reply, said, the Government was ready to introduce the measure as soon as there was a fair prospect of proceeding with it. It would be premature, however, before the introduction of the Bill to inquire whether its provisions should be extended beyond England.
