§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether in view of the fact that land loans, under the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881, are now limited to three times the amount of the judicial rent, and that in many cases these rents are under the amount of the Poor Law valuation which was the old standard, he will direct the necessary steps to be taken to enable the Board of Public Works in Ireland to deal adequately with these judicial tenants.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH,) Derbyshire, W.The Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland are already empowered to exceed the limit referred to when special circumstances exist requiring exceptional treatment.
