HC Deb 07 September 1909 vol 10 cc1281-2W
Mr. WILLIAM ABRAHAM

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners propose, under the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act of 1907, to acquire the untenanted lands on the Bower estate, Farahy, Kildorrery, seeing that this estate is under the control of the Court of Chancery, and that the lands in question are required to provide for evicted tenants and others in the neigh-bourhood?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners will consider whether this is a case in which they could acquire the lands under the compulsory provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act, with a view to providing farms for evicted tenants under that Act.
