HC Deb 05 May 1904 vol 134 cc541-2
MR. P. A. M'HUGH (Leitrim, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the rules of the Estates Commissioners under the Land Act of 1903 are not available for the use of Members in the Library; and, if so, can, he make arrangements to have copies of those rules supplied to Members representing Irish constituencies.

MR. WYNDHAM

The rules in question are provisional rules, and it is not the practice to lay such rules on the Table of the House. They were published in the Dublin Gazette, and are on sale at all law stationers. I shall be pleased, however, to forward a number of copies to the Librarian, from whom hon. Members can obtain them. The rules, when they become final, will be presented to Parliament in. accordance with the requirements of the Act.

MR. FLYNN (Cork County, N.)

Will you also lay copies of the rules framed under former Land Purchase Acts?

MR. WYNDHAM

If the hon. Member will write to me on the subject I will see what can be done.
