HC Deb 19 June 1907 vol 176 cc484-5
MR. GINNELL

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland if he can see his way to suggesting to the Irish Land Commission and Estates Commissioners any method whereby a non-residential grass farm for sale, subject to a balance of annuities under one of the Purchase Acts prior to 1903, may be made available for distribution under the Land Act of 1903 among neighbouring people in great need of land.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (MR. CHERRY, Liverpool, Exchange)

No, Sir, the Land Commission have no legal power to purchase a holding which is subject to the payment of annuities under the Land Purchase Acts.
