HC Deb 20 February 1905 vol 141 cc607-8
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland when it is proposed to present the Report of the Estates Commissioners for the year ending December 31st, 1904, and if care will be taken to lay it upon the Table in such time as will permit adequate consideration and discussion.

MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I beg also to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland when the Report of the Estates Commissioners will be laid upon the Table.

MR. WYNDHAM

The Irish Government is in correspondence with the Treasury in respect both to the form of the Report and the period to be covered by it. A decision will, it is expected, shortly be reached.

MR. DILLON

Will the right hon. Gentleman impress on the Treasury the great inconvenience of the period ending March 31st which deprives us of an opportunity of discussing the Report of the current year. It would be much more convenient to bring it up to December 31st.

MR. WYNDHAM

I will convey that to the Treasury.
