§ MR. M. MCCARTAN (Down, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Return of Agricultural Prices, etc., in Ireland, recently granted on the Motion of the Member for Galway, has been yet furnished to the lay Sub-Commissioners now administering the Law in relation to fair rent applications in Ireland; and, if not so furnished, why these Sub-Commissioners are not provided with information so necessary in fixing fair rents?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe information contained in the Return forms portion of the Return of Prices of Irish Agricultural Produce for the year 1896, which is now being prepared in the office of the Land Commission and will be ready for publication in the course of about ten days. As soon as it is published, copies will be supplied to the Assistant Commissioners in the same manner as has been done in previous years.
