HC Deb 07 February 1895 vol 30 c195
MR. WILLIAM H. K. REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the fact that the Bill dealing with land in Ireland is given priority in the Queen's Speech, means that that measure will be proceeded with before the other Government measures of which notice has been given?

MR. JOHN MORLEY

After the Welsh Disestablishment Bill has been read a first time, Motion will be made that the Irish Land Bill be read a first time; and the Second Reading of the Welsh Church Bill will be immediately followed by the Second Reading of the Irish Land Bill.

MR. W. REDMOND

asked whether the Committee stage of the Welsh Church Bill would be taken before or after the same stage of the Irish Land Bill?

MR. J. MORLEY

We cannot say anything about the Committee stage of either Bill until we have obtained the Second Reading.

DR. J. E. KENNY (Dublin, College Green)

asked whether the question of the evicted tenants in Ireland would be dealt with in the Irish Land Bill or in a separate measure?

MR. J. MORLEY

said, that on the first night of the Session the Leader of the House (Sir W. Harcourt) dealt with that matter and gave a practical and adequate answer to the question.
