I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with regard to the summary on page 13 of the Report of the Irish Land Commissioners of advances made under the Land Purchase Act of 1891 during the year ending 31st March last, whether the total amount of these advances—namely, £234,751, has been made by the issue of Guaranteed Land Stock; and, if so, what proportion of such Guaranteed Land Stock has been exchanged for Consols at par, under Section 15, Subsection (2) of that Act?
