HC Deb 16 June 1920 vol 130 c1256
53. Sir CECIL BECK

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that, after in vain making repeated applications to the authorities for protection, certain land owners in Ireland have been compelled to negotiate the sale of portions of their estates to the Sinn Fein leaders in order to secure the safety of the estate labourers engaged upon essential and vital agricultural work; and what steps the Government propose to take?

The ATTORNEY- GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Denis Henry)

I will be glad to inquire into any specific case that the hon. Member cites.
