HL Deb 23 June 1881 vol 262 c1089
THE MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNE

said, he had been requested by his noble Friend the Duke of Argyll, who had a Motion upon the Paper for to-morrow, calling attention to the Report of the Bessborough Commission on the Irish Land Laws, and to the evidence relative thereto, to express his regret that he was compelled, by the return of the indisposition from which he was suffering last week, to put off his Motion. He was unable at present to fix any precise date on which he would again bring the Motion forward; but he had every intention of doing so at the earliest possible opportunity consistent with the state of his health.

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

Can the noble Marquess give the House any information as to the limit of the time to which the delay will extend?

THE MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNE

I am sorry I have no information except that which I have endeavoured to lay before your Lordships.
