§ MR. TULLYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners can state in how many cases since they have become the owners of the King-Harman Estate have they refused to sanction the sale by one tenant to another of the tenant's interests in their holdings; can they explain on what grounds and at whose instigation they refused permission to the National Bank to sell the tenant's interest in Corrigard and Termon holdings to Surgeon-Colonel Smith and ex-County Inspector Scott respectively; and whether they intend to pursue the same policy in the case of other farms where the tenant's interest is offered for sale on this estate.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) The Answer to the first inquiry is, in no case.
