§ 45. Lieut-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether the Government proposes to carry out the late Government's pledges to ex-service men under Sections 1 and 2 of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Land Settlement Act of 1919, to enable them to take up small holdings?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)Action under Sections 1 and 2 of the Irish Land (Provision for Sailors and Soldiers) Act, 1919, has been taken by the Estates Commissioners in a limited number of cases, but the conditions prevalent in Ireland during recent years and at present render any wide application of these provisions impossible in the interests of the men themselves.
