HC Deb 07 March 1918 vol 103 c2110
20. Captain SHEEHAN

asked the nature of the proposals for the resettlement on the land in England after the War; whether, as there are large numbers of agricultural workers from Ireland serving in the Army and Navy, any steps have been taken to resettle them on the land in Ireland; and what special arrangements, if any, are being made in regard to the demobilisation of Irishmen serving in His Majesty's Forces and providing them with suitable and remunerative careers in their own country?

Mr. SAMUELS

Means are under consideration for vesting in one of the Irish Departments powers analogous to those created in respect of England and Wales by the Small Holdings Colonies Act, 1916.
