HC Deb 12 February 1891 vol 350 c475
SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if it is the intention of the Government to exempt long leaseholders from the operation of the Irish Land Purchase Bill?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I am not sure that I understand the purport of the question. The intentions of the Government are fully set forth in the Bill now before the House, and to that I must respectfully refer the hon. Baronet.
