HL Deb 23 February 1885 vol 294 cc1002-3
LORD ORANMORE AND BROWNE

asked Her Majesty's Government, Whether the £50,000 granted by Parliament in the Session of 1883 for the purpose of migration of tenants in Ireland has been advanced for that purpose; and, if so, to what person or company it has been advanced? He would also move for a Return from the Land Commission in Ireland showing what part of the purchase money of the Kilclooney estate—bought by the Company of which Mr. Parnell was Chairman—was advanced on loan from the Treasury.

Moved, That there be laid before the House— Return from the Land Commission in Ireland, showing what part of the purchase money of the Kilclooney Estate (bought by the Company of which Mr. Parnell is chairman) was advanced on loan from the Treasury." —(The Lord Oranmore and Browne.)

LORD CARLINGFORD (LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL),

in reply, said, that no part of the £50,000 allotted for the purpose of what was called migration had been applied for, and therefore no portion had been advanced. He would agree to the Motion of the noble Lord for a Return respecting the purchase money of the Kilclooney estate.

Motion agreed to.
