HC Deb 28 June 1880 vol 253 c954
LORD ELCHO

gave Notice that on an early day he would ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether, when he spoke of the increasing number of evictions in Ireland, he meant processes of ejectment or actual evictions from house and home; whether the figures which he gave applied to town or country; and how many of the evictions were for nonpayment of rent?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

I will answer that at once. They were evictions, not notices of ejectment. They were rural evictions. As to the details, I will give them on a future day if the noble Lord puts down Notice.
