§ Mr. DUFFYasked the Chief Secretary whether any arrangement has been arrived at as between the Estates Commissioners and the Congested Districts Board in respect to estates inspected and the control of which is in the hands of the Estates Commissioners; and whether, with a view to preventing delay, permission will now be given to the Commissioners to proceed with such schemes of improvement as they had in hand, and which would have been proceeded with by them except for the passage of the Land Act, 1910?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI understand that judgment was given by the Judicial Commissioner on Monday last on a question of law as to the relative positions of the Estates Commissioners and the Congested Districts Board in respect of estates situate in congested districts counties for the sale of which proceedings are pending before the Commissioners. The arrangements consequent on the judgment are still under the consideration of the Commissioners.
