HC Deb 24 April 1899 vol 70 c385
MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can now state when he will introduce the Irish Tithe Rent-Charge Bill?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I am unable to assign a date for the introduction of this Bill, but I should hope it might be introduced before Whitsuntide.

MR. DILLON

Will the right, honourable Gentleman undertake to give us reasonable notice?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

If the Bill be introduced before Whitsuntide it will have to be under the Ten Minutes Rule.
