HC Deb 30 June 1903 vol 124 c924
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the proposal to regulate turf-cutting on estates purchased under Clause 19 of the Land Bill would authorise tenants of holdings to make hand-turf in cases where existing bogs do not afford the necessary depth for cutting with slanes.

MR. WYNDHAM

I do not find in any statute or authority dealing with the matter the distinction referred to by the hon. Member. The point can easily be met, if necessary, by the addition of a couple of words to the clause.
