HC Deb 02 September 1880 vol 256 c1044
MR. MOORE

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether any official record is kept of sales of land in the Landed Estates Court, Ireland, showing the number of years' purchase given in each case, and the number of sales adjourned by reason of insufficient biddings; and, in case no such record is kept, whether he would consider the advisability of instituting one in view of future legislation in the direction of peasant proprietary?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

I think, Sir, that the information which the hon. Member wishes to obtain is information which the House ought to have. I hope, in the next clay or two, to find out what information is already obtained, and what we can obtain. A Return has been moved for by the hon. Member for Queen's County (Mr. Arthur O'Connor); but, if necessary, I will myself move for a further Return before the close of the Session.
