HC Deb 07 July 1904 vol 137 cc969-70
MR. O'SHEE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of; Ireland, in reference to how many estates inquiries have been made under Section 96 of the Land Act of 1903 with respect to accommodation for labourers; how many schemes have been framed, or are about to be framed, by the Land Commission providing therefor; how many of such schemes have been forwarded to the Local Government Board and the rural district councils; what are the names of the estates and the counties dealt with in such schemes; and whether the Estates Commissioners will consider the desirability of having inquiries made from the labourers themselves, as well as from other persons on each estate inspected.

MR. WYNDHAM

I am not yet in a position to reply to this Question; but I will communicate the information to the hon. Member in the course of an hour, and the reply will be printed on to-day's Votes.
