§ 40. Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if, in connection with the present problem of the supply of fuel, he will ascertain and state the area and situation of tracts of bog in Ireland now unused except occasionally for sport; the prices, where known, at which they can be purchased; and the prices, estimated on that basis, of the tracts not yet offered for sale?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)I am not prepared to sanction the expenditure of the time and labour involved in collecting the particulars asked for by the hon. Member, which would be disproportionate to the value of the information obtained.
