HC Deb 24 May 1895 vol 34 c235
MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is the fact that the Welsh Land Commission has concluded its sittings; and whether he can state when the Report of the Commission is likely to be issued?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. H. H. ASQUITH, Fife, E.)

I am informed by the Secretary that the Commissioners held their last sitting for the purpose of taking evidence on Tuesday, the 7th day of May, and do not anticipate that it will be necessary to hear further witnesses. They are fully aware of the importance of reporting speedily, and are making every endeavour to present their Report at the earliest possible moment, but they are at present unable to promise it at any precise date.
