§ Mr. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that a Committee of the Irish Parliamentary Party has been appointed to consider the finance of the Irish Land Purchase Act in connection with the Report of the Treasury Committee on this subject; and whether, under these circumstances, he will take care that no decision is come to by the Treasury on the matter until they have had an opportunity of considering the views of this Committee.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) I shall be very glad to consider the views of the Committee to which the hon. Member refers, provided that they are submitted to me in time; but I would remind him that, though I am unable to fix a date, I regard the settlement of this question as urgent.
