§ MR. SHEEHANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has from time to time received many public representations as to the position of agricultural tenants excluded from the operations of the existing land laws; and whether it is proposed to legislate for the claims of these excluded tenants in the forthcoming Land Bill.
§ MR. BIRRELLNumerous representations with regard to the position of excluded tenants have been made to me and are receiving consideration. I do not think it desirable to discuss the provisions of the forthcoming Land Bill pending its introduction.
