HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 cc718-9
Mr. C. C. CRAIG (for Mr. Moore)

asked what are the names of the persons and the valuations of their respective allotments on the division by the Estates Commissioners of the untenanted land on the Moutray estate; what were the claims of the allottees to such new holdings; and if persons having claims as relatives of tenants previously evicted on this estate were passed over in favour of the allottees, and for what reasons?

The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)

The Estates Commissioners inform me that the names of these persons, with particulars of their allotments, will appear in due course in the monthly returns of advances under the Irish Land Act, 1903, which are laid before Parliament. The applications made to the Commissioners by persons claiming as representatives of evicted tenants were refused, as they did not appear to come within the provisions either of the Irish Land Act, 1903, or the Evicted Tenants Act.

Mr. C. C. CRAIG

When is the Return expected? Can we have it before the Land Bill goes into Committee?

Mr. BIRRELL

I think that will be so. I will see.
