§ 14. Mr. FIELDasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that at the annual meeting of the Vacant Land Cultivation Society and at a meeting in St. Patrick's Division resolutions were passed requesting the immediate extension of the Allotments Act to Ireland; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?
§ Mr. DUKEI am aware that such resolutions were passed, but I cannot add anything to the answers I gave to the hon. Member's questions on the 13th and 18th June.
§ Mr. FIELDWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of extending the Allotments Act to Ireland?
§ Mr. DUKEThere is an Allotments Act in Ireland, but this question of town allotments is safeguarded by very stringent powers which have been effectively and usefully exercised.
