HC Deb 23 November 1911 vol 31 cc1360-1
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will state what would be the approximate cost of having Land Commission receivable orders issued with a tissue or other similar duplicate receipt to be given the payers by the Irish banks in exchange for the rent and original receivable order; is he aware that the Irish banks will welcome this slight innovation; and will he in the circumstances have this matter considered?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his similar question asked on 25th November, 1910. The question of cost does not enter into consideration, for apart altogether from that question, the Land Commissioners are of opinion that the suggested course is both undesirable and impracticable.
