HC Deb 13 June 1906 vol 158 cc967-8
MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state approximately the number of labourers' cottages in each province of Ireland on which loans will be outstanding on March 31st, 1907.

I beg also to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state approximately the number of labourers' cottages in the county of Armagh on which loans will be outstanding on March 31st next.

*MR. BRYCE

A Return which was presented to this House on the 7th inst., on the Motion of the hon. Member for North Kerry,†gives full particulars, both by counties and provinces, of the numbers †See Col. 520. of labourers' cottages, built, or in course of construction upon which loans were outstanding on March 31st, 1906. I take it that this will be sufficient for the hon. Member's purpose, without preparing an approximate Return for a year ahead, assuming that this could be done with any approach to accuracy.
