HC Deb 28 February 1902 vol 104 c19
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the large and increasing number of cases in which the chief Court of the Land Commission fixes the judicial rent payable by tenants, not alone above the Sub-Commission rent, but above the rent reported as fair by the expert valuers of the Court itself, he will consider the advisability of provision being made, by legislation or otherwise, in all such cases for the Court to give the grounds upon which such increased rents are declared.

MR. ATKINSON

The grounds upon which that judgment on appeal is based are to a considerable extent set out in the pink schedule. The matter has been considered, but my hon. friend will not expect me to inform him, before the introduction of the Land Bill, what result has been arrived at.
