HC Deb 15 July 1897 vol 51 c177
MR. DAVITT

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government, are contemplating a scheme of relief for Irish landlords by means of loans of State money at 3 per cent. for the liquidation of mortgages on landed property in Ireland; and, if so, when will this scheme be submitted to the House for discussion.

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

As I intimated in answer to a Question put to me by some hon. Representatives from Wales, the Government do not entertain the policy with which they are credited by the right hon. Gentleman.
