§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what steps do the Estates Commissioners take to make known to tenants before they sign purchase agreements that after purchase they will be liable for all Board of Works and similar charges attaching to the land?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)I would refer the hon. Member to page 33 of the Estates Commissioners' Rules, which have been presented to Parliament. It is there provided that if a holding is subject to maintenance and drainage charges which will affect it after purchase a statement to that effect is to be inserted in the purchase agreement.
