HC Deb 23 July 1900 vol 86 cc860-1
MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether proceedings are at present pending or contemplated on the part of the War Office to acquire for the purpose of adding it to the Kilworth Rifle Range a large tract of land in the immediate locality; and will he state under what Act these proceedings are being taken, what stage they have reached, what area of land it is proposed to ac- quire, and how many families it is proposed to evict.

* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

No, Sir; there is no such intention.

MR. MAURICE HEALY

Then what was the meaning of the communication addressed to the Cork County Council, stating there was such an intention?

* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

That, no doubt, had reference to the schedule of a Bill introduced into another place, and since withdrawn.
