HC Deb 24 July 1918 vol 108 c1830W
Sir EDWARD CARSON

asked the Prime Minister when the Bill dealing with the distribution of land to Irish soldiers who have served in the War will be introduced; and whether it is the intention of the Government that its various stages shall be completed before the Recess?

Mr. SHORTT

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. With regard to the first part of the question, I would refer the right hon. and learned Gentleman to the reply given to his question on this subject on the 16th inst. I fear it would be impossible to carry the Bill through all its stages in the time available before the Recess.
