HC Deb 14 April 1913 vol 51 cc1623-4
51. Mr. WILLIAM O'BRIEN

asked whether the Irish Land Purchase Bill will be introduced before Whitsuntide?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid the Government will not be able to introduce the Bill before Whitsuntide.

Mr. W. O'BRIEN

May we take it for granted that the Government will introduce and pass a Bill this Session?

The PRIME MINISTER

Certainly, we shall introduce the Bill, and I hope we may pass it but that will depend upon the manner in which it is received in the various quarters of the House.
