§ 37. Mr. LUNDONasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that the late Chief Secretary for Ireland was anxious and expressed a wish that the rents of labourers' cottages should be reduced during the period of the War; if he will explain why the Local Government Board have refused to carry out his wishes; and, in view of the services rendered to the Empire by the enlistment, in the Army of tens of thousands of the sons of these poor cottiers, will he take steps to have the wishes and pledge of the late Chief Secretary redeemed?
Mr. SAMUELI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to his question of the 25th July.
