HC Deb 10 August 1882 vol 273 c1384
MR. BLAKE

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in the event of the Arrears of Rent (Ireland) Bill becoming Law this Session, he will be kind enough to undertake to bring under the notice of the Irish Government the generous proposal of the Government of Canada to co-operate with the Imperial Government in settling Irish immigrants fitted for farming pursuits in Manitoba and the North West Territory, as detailed in the Despatch of the Governor General to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, dated Ottowa, November 9th, 1880?

MR. TREVELYAN

Certainly, Sir; should the Bill become law, the proposals, which have already deeply interested the Irish Government, shall receive our full consideration.
