HC Deb 15 July 1909 vol 7 cc2288-9
Mr. REDDY

asked whether agricultural labourers residing in urban districts are entitled to the benefits of the Labourers Act, 1906; and whether urban district councils have any power to acquire tracts of land in the neighbourhood to be divided amongst agricultural labourers living in their districts?

Mr. CHERRY

The Labourers (Ireland) Acts apply only to rural districts. Urban district councils have no power to acquire land for division amongst agricultural labourers living in their districts.
