HC Deb 01 December 1909 vol 13 c533W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chief Secretary if he will say how many evicted families in Ireland noted as suitable for holdings still remain unprovided with holdings?

Mr. BIRRELL

Of the number of evicted tenants or their representatives noted for consideration 996 have not yet been reinstated in their former holdings or provided with other holdings, but proceedings are pending before the Estates Commissioners for the purchase of a large area of untenanted land, in the allotment of which these persons will be considered.
