HC Deb 21 February 1890 vol 341 c887
MR. MAURICE HEALY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is the case that the Government have recently been collecting statistics as to the number of tenants in Ireland excluded from the operation of the Land Acts, as holding under lettings wholly or mainly for the purpose of pasture; whether, if so, the information collected will be published; and whether the Government are now willing to relax the law excluding this large and important body of Irish tenants from the right to have their rents revised by the Land Courts?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have been collecting information relating to agricultural holdings, but not for the purpose stated.
