HC Deb 24 March 1898 vol 55 c740
SIR H. H. HOWORTH (Salford, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Government intend to give effect, by legislation or otherwise, to any and which of the recommendations of the Commission presided over by Lord Justice Fry; and, if so, whether they propose in the meantime to modify or change, or put in abeyance, the action of the Deputy Commissioners?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. GERALD W. BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

The Report will require careful consideration by the Government and the Irish Land Commission before a conclusion is arrived at. In the meantime I would remind my hon. Friend that the appendices containing the evidence have not yet been published.
