HC Deb 12 May 1891 vol 353 c569
MR. CAREW (Kildare)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the probability of the Land Department Bill not passing into law this Session, he will consider the advisability of transferring from that measure to the Land Purchase Bill the clause relating to the long leaseholders?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The clause relating to long leaseholders would, I believe, not be in order in the Bill now under discussion, so that I fear it would not be possible to carry out the suggestion of the hon. Gentleman.
