HC Deb 15 August 1901 vol 99 c929
MR. SHEEHAN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the present state of the law respecting tenants in towns in Ireland, he will consider the advisability of introducing into Parliament next session a Bill which would secure to such tenants perpetuity of tenure, compensation for improvements effected, the right of free sale of created interests, the fixing of fair rents, and which would provide machinery for facilitating sale and purchase as between landlord and tenant.

MR. WYNDHAM

I cannot give any undertaking such as is suggested in this question.
