HC Deb 26 April 1883 vol 278 cc1156-7
MR. ERRINGTON

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether a measure is under consideration to so far assimilate the borrowing powers under the Lands Improvement Act and the Land Act, 1881, as to enable tenants in Ireland, to whom the latter Act does not apply, to borrow under the former sums less than £100; and, if so, who- ther he hopes soon to be able to introduce the Bill?

MR. COURTNEY

Sir, in the Consolidation Bill which I hope to introduce before Whitsuntide, the fixed minimum prescribed by the old Land Improvements Acts will not be re-enacted; and it will be possible to prescribe, by regulation, any other minimum that may be desirable.
