HC Deb 12 June 1890 vol 345 cc716-7
MR. M'CARTAN (Down, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the resolution unanimously adopted by the Newtownards Farmers' Association, at a meeting held on the 26th May last; and whether he intends to make provision in his Land Purchase Bill in the direction pointed out in this resolution?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The hon. Gentleman asked me this question the other day. I then stated that the resolution had not been brought to my notice, and I have not yet seen it. If the hon. Gentleman will be good enough to for- ward me a copy of it I shall be very glad.

MR. M'CARTAN

I may say I did forward a copy.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I regret I have not received it.
