§ MR. J. MORLEY (Newcastle - on-Tyne)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a statement of the number of holdings of different classes in Ireland to which Clause 6 of the Land Purchase Bill will apply, and on which he has formed the estimate that £95,000,000 would suffice for their purchase?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURProbably the right hon. Gentleman will have gathered from an answer which I gave on a previous occasion that the data which I have been able to obtain are not of such an authentic and certain character as to make this a proper subject of Parliamentary Return. I did give conjectural information in answer to a question, but I do not think it would be proper to put it into a more definite shape.
