HC Deb 02 May 1881 vol 260 cc1540-1
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, in the event of the Land Law (Ireland) Bill being read a second time, he will be prepared, before asking the House to go into Committee on the Bill, to state the names of the persons who are to compose the Land Commission referred to in the Bill?

MR. GLADSTONE

I am unable to give the noble Lord any promise to state the names of the persons who are to compose the Land Commission before going into Committee on the Bill. I trust, however, that it will not be long before we may go into Committee on the measure. I can promise, at the same time, that at a later stage, probably when we go out of Committee, we shall be prepared to give the names.
