HC Deb 10 April 1905 vol 144 c1034
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will lay upon the Table the instructions issued by the Estates Commissioners for the guidance of their inspectors, dated February, 1904.

MR. WALTER LONG

No, Sir, I do not propose to lay these instructions, which were informal, on the Table.

MR. DILLON

Then are we not to be allowed to see these instructions at all?

MR. JOHN MORLEY (Montrose Burghs)

asked whether it was not the intention that all these regulations should be brought under the cognisance of the House.

MR. WALTER LONG

said he had no desire to do other than carry out the pledges of his predecessor.

MR. DILLON

I shall certainly press for the publication of these regulations.
