HC Deb 03 February 1908 vol 183 c538
MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he is yet in a position to make a statement as to what scheme he proposes to adopt to deal with the cost of the flotation of Irish Land Stock.

MR. ASQUITH

The matter is still under consideration by a Departmental Committee, but I hope to receive their report almost immediately and to be able to make a statement on the subject at an early date.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN (Worcestershire, E.)

May I ask if the statement which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has promised with regard to the flotation of Irish Land Stock will be made under circumstances which will enable a discussion to take place on it if required.

MR. ASQUITH

suggested that that Question should be addressed to the Prime Minister.
