HC Deb 17 June 1907 vol 176 c170
MR. MOORE (Armagh, N.)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister if the Evicted Tenants Bill has yet been prepared; when it will be introduced; and what facilities he is prepared to allow for its discussion on introduction.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BIRRELL, Bristol, N.)

I propose to introduce the Evicted Tenants Bill under the Ten Minutes Rule in the course of next week.

MR. MOORE

Will the Bill be submitted for the consideration of any private Member before its introduction?

MR. BIRRELL

If the hon. Member has any helpful advice to give, I shall be very glad to receive it.

MR. MOORE

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider whether it would facilitate matters if the names of the parties within the scope of the Bill were furnished to the House?

MR. BIRRELL

No.

Mr. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

Will the measure be like the Bill of 1894, which was passed by this House and thrown out by the hon. Member's friends in the House of Lords?

Mr. BIRRELL

Eiusdem generis.
