HC Deb 20 March 1902 vol 105 cc554-5
MR. FFRENCH (Wexford, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Report of the Irish Land Commission for the financial year ending 31st March is not usually published until late in July or until August, when the House has no time to discuss it; and whether, as the figures are ready by the end of the financial year, he can say if the next Report will be published by the 1st of June.

MR. WYNDHAM

The preparation of the statistical tables in this Report cannot be commenced until after the 31st March. The Commissioners are alive to the importance of issuing the Report as soon as possible after that date, but they cannot undertake to fix a day for its publication.
