HC Deb 06 April 1911 vol 23 c2417
Mr. LARDNER

asked what are the total expenses of the Land Commission and the Estates Commissioners, respectively, for each of the last five preceding years?

Mr. BIRRELL

The expenses of the land purchase side and the fair rent side of the Land Commission are not kept separately and cannot be precisely estimated. Many officers of the Land Commission perform duties relating to both sides.

Mr. WILLIAM O'BRIEN

Will it not be convenient in future if the expenses of the two Departments are set out separately?

Mr. BIRRELL

I will see whether that can be done.
