§ MR. GINNELL (Westmeath, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners keep a record of the amounts of mortgages and other incumbrances, with their respective rates of interest, upon property sold under the Land Act of 1903, whether to themselves or direct to tenants; if so, will he state what the rates of interest are, and the average rate on such incumbrances; and
† See (4) Debates, clxxv., 1613.1364 will he state, without vendor's name, from the experience of the Commissioners, all the financial facts of a typical case, including cost of collection and usual outgoings and deductions connected with land and not connected with money, to illustrate the effect upon an incumbered owner of selling under that Act.(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Land Commission inform me that no such record as is mentioned in the Question is kept by the Commissioners, and it would not be possible to state the financial facts of a typical case from which any general conclusions could rightly be deduced.
