HC Deb 15 December 1902 vol 116 c1222
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state on what terms the Congested Districts Board have purchased from the Earl of Lucan his Ballinrobe estate; what is the total amount of the purchase, and how many years purchase does it represent on the gross and net rentals respectively.

MR. WYNDHAM

The Board has not purchased, and is not negotiating for the purchase of this estate.

MR. TULLY

Will the right hon. Gentleman inquire why officials of the Congested Districts Board set these rumours afloat?

MR. WYNDHAM

They are not circulated by the officials of the Board.
