HC Deb 26 February 1885 vol 294 c1399
MR. T. A. DICKSON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutentant of Ireland, If the Government intend reintroducing "The Purchase of Land (Ireland) Bill;" and, if so, when?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The Prime Minister has already stated that the Government cannot make any announcement as to their legislative proposals until progress has been made with the Parliamentary Elections (Redistribution) Bill; and though they fully recognize the great importance of the subject referred to in this Question, it must be comprehended, with others of an equally pressing and important nature, in that general statement.
