§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to introduce a measure for the purpose of giving greater facilities for occupying tenants of land in Ireland to become owners of their holdings by purchase in pursuance of the evidence and Report of the Committee of last Session on this subject?
§ MR. J. LOWTHERThe Report of the Select Committee referred to and the Evidence are now engaging the attention of the Government, and it would be premature for me to state now what the decision of the Government may be. In due time it will be communicated to the House.
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREI shall call attention to the subject again, and move a Resolution, when the House meets after the Recess, in case the course proposed by the Government should prove unsatisfactory.
