HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 c721
Mr. PATRICK O'BRIEN (for Mr. Vincent Kennedy)

asked whether, in the sale of any estates under the Irish Land Act, 1903, the tenants have been called on to pay interest on a sum greater than the purchase money agreed to be advanced to the vendor, in how many cases this has occurred, and what is the amount represented by the excess of the price over what the vendor received; and what has been done with this excess price?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Land Commission are not aware of any cases of the kind. If the hon. Member will give a particular instance I will make inquiry.
