HC Deb 23 February 1911 vol 21 cc2054-5
Mr. WILLIAM REDMOND

asked the Chief Secretary if he had received a memorandum from the Irish Tobacco Growers' Association, and whether he would bring it under the notice of the Development Commission?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have received the memorandum referred to, and have forwarded it to the Development Commissioners.

Mr. W. REDMOND

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will bring under the notice of the Department of Agriculture the strong desire in Ireland amongst tobacco growers to give some evidence before the Development Commission?

Mr. BIRRELL

Yes, they will have the opportunity of doing so.
