HC Deb 12 April 1911 vol 24 c586W
Mr. O'DONNELL

asked the Chief Secretary whether any labourers holding union cottages in Ireland have been provided with turbary under the provisions of Section 21 of the Irish Land Act, 1903, and Section 24 of the Labourers Act, 1906; and does he propose to take any, and, if so, what steps to secure, where possible, turbary for union cottages?

Mr. BIRRELL

As regards the first paragraph of the question I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar question asked by him on the 5th April. The Estates Commissioners in framing regulations under Section 21 of the Irish Land Act, 1903, have regard to the requirements of agricultural labourers coming within the provisions of Section 24 of the Labourers (Ireland) Act, 1906.
