§ CAPTAIN DONELANOn behalf of the hon. Member for South Down I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can now say about what time the Sub-Commissioners in Ireland will be supplied with the valuations of lands and houses for the standard year in respect of the fair rent applications listed for hearing; and whether the same will be supplied by the Commissioners of Valuation in Ireland or at the request of the Land Commission, so as to save the tenants or owners from the expense and inconvenience of applying for certificates of valuation which will be comparatively useless to them afterwards.
§ *MR. G. W. BALFOURIn continuation of my answer to the hon. Member's previous question of the 18th of May on this subject, I am informed that the certificates of valuation are being supplied to the Land Commission as required, and that certificates have been issued to the Commission in 3,100 eases to the present date. As regards the question of the cost of these certificates, I must refer the hon. Member to the statement made by me on the 12th May in reply to a similar question put by my hon. friend the Member for North Antrim.
