§ 11. Captain REDMONDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that much dissatisfaction exists amongst the Irish plotholders owing to their insecurity of tenure and the absence of grants enjoyed by British plotholders; and whether he can state whether he proposes to introduce and pass the promised measure to ensure equal treatment given to those food producers in Great Britain?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe passing of the War Emergency Laws Continuance Bill will remove any ground for apprehension on the part of the plotholders as regards security of tenure during the present season. In these circumstances there appears to be no necessity for legislation at present, and when the Government of Ireland Bill becomes law the matter can be dealt with by the Irish Parliaments.
