§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a recent sitting of the Head Land Commission in Longford, the rents which had on inspection been fixed by the Sub-Commission were on appeal raised in almost every case by a majority of the Court by nearly 30 per cent.; and can he hold out any hope that the new Land Bill will provide for inspection of holdings by the Head Commission before accepting the valuation of the Court valuers.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI am informed that the fact is not correctly stated in the first part of the Question. As regards 1344 the second part of the Question, I can only repeat that I cannot anticipate the contents of the new Land Bill.
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLCan the right hon. Gentleman say what is the actual increase in the valuation?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI will give the hon. Member the information.
