§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to ask the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture for Ireland whether he is now prepared to make a representation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer with a view to removing any restrictions which exist to growing tobacco in Ireland.
§ THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOR IRELAND (Mr. PLUNKETT,) Dublin County, S.When a desire is manifested on the part of Irish farmers to grow 401 tobacco, it will be time to make representations to the Chancellor of the Exchequer with a view to the removal of any restrictions which may interfere with its profitable cultivation. Irish farmers will probably await the result of further experiments, which are in contemplation fur the present year.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDWill the right hon. Gentleman's Department bear in mind the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he would view with favour the removal of these restrictions?
§ MR. PLUNKETTCertainly.
