asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state when advances will be made to those tenants whose cases come under Section 38 of the Land Act, 1923, and who are unaffected by the clauses of the Act relating to compounded arrears of rent or payment in lieu of rent, and who will receive no benefit under the Act until their rents are redeemed?

The procedure to be adopted by a person who desires to avail himself of the benefit of Sec. 38 of the Land Act, 1923, are prescribed by the Land Commission Rules of the 5th instant. When the application has been made and the requirements of the Act and Rules complied with, the advance will be made.

Arising out of that answer, would the Minister give priority of inspection to tenants coming under Section 38 of the Land Act of 1923, as they receive no benefit until their rents are redeemed?

I will bring that to the notice of the Minister for Agriculture.
