§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDETo ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer how much money he proposes to allow for the purpose of carrying out land purchase in Ireland this year.
(Answered by Mr. Asquith.) The whole question of the financial arrangements in connection with Irish land purchase is under consideration upon the Report of the Departmental Committee, and, pending the general statement which I hope to make at an early date, I am not in a position to say anything on the subject of the Question.
