HC Deb 05 June 1905 vol 147 cc715-6
MR. DELANY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have power, under the Act of 1903, to give money compensation to a planter who is willing to surrender an evicted farm, or to provide him with a farm of equivalent value elsewhere, in order to effect the restoration of the evicted tenant or his representative.

MR. ATKINSON

This is really an abstract question of law for the decision of those administering the Act. I may, however, refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. friend the Member for Dover to a similar Question on August 13th, 1904.
