HC Deb 01 December 1909 vol 13 cc529-30W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chief Secretary if he can say approximately about what date, in the normal course of business, the Estates Commissioners will be able to deal, with the Chapman estate, Killna Castle, Westmeath, pending before them for sale?

Mr. BIRRELL

The purchase agreements in this case were not lodged until October, 1908, and having regard to the prior claims of other estates the Estates Commissioners are not at present in a position to say when this estate will be reached.
