HC Deb 10 June 1902 vol 109 cc243-4
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I wish to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether in view of the statement that he will be ready to confer with the parties concerned for the purpose of deciding whether the Land Purchase Bill could be given a non-contentious complexion, he contemplates either the withdrawal or the modification of Clause 36.

MR. WYNDHAM

I contemplated discussion on that and similar points between the parties. What I desire is to render the Bill less contentious.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

Would it not be better that these arrangements should be made on the floor of the House than outside the House?

MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)

I wish to repeat a Question which I addressed to the right hon. Gentleman yesterday—namely, when he intends to move the discharge of the Order for this Bill.

MR. WYNDHAM

I shall certainly not take such a course as that; I do not yet know whether there is to be an autumn Session. I will do everything in my power to put this measure on the Statute Book.
