HC Deb 08 August 1901 vol 99 cc74-5
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any arrangement will be made to enable the quit rents which are the property of the Crown in Ireland to be available for Irish purposes.

SIR M. HICKS BEACH

I can add nothing to the several replies I have already given on this subject. I have done my best to explain to the hon. Member that it is impossible to meet his wishes in this matter.

CAPTAIN DONELAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of ear-marking the rents for Irish purposes?

SIR M. HICKS BEACH

No, Sir.
