HC Deb 17 May 1900 vol 83 cc423-4
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has any objection to grant the Return of Land Sub-Commissioners and Valuers which stands on the Paper.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

I have written to the hon. Member, asking him to amend the form of Return so as to bring it into conformity with the Return of 1897. When this has been done, the Return will be granted.

MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I will alter it and move it to-morrow. Will the right hon. Gentleman expedite the issue of the Return, so that it may be in the hands of the Irish Members before the Estimates are taken?

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

I am afraid I cannot pledge myself to that.
