§ MR. MANSFIELD (Lincolnshire, Spalding)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the promised legislation in relation to land tenure in Ireland, he will grant the Return relative to Land Purchase (Ireland) standing upon to-day's Notice Paper.
1350 (Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) I have already stated that Returns are in preparation, and will be laid on the Table, containing information under a variety of heads on the subject of land purchase operations in Ireland. These Returns are necessarily statistical in form and will not give the names of the 74,000 tenant purchasers to whom advances have been made since the passing of the Irish Church Act of 1869.
