I have been asked to reply. Yes, Sir. My right hon. Friend's attention has been called to this case. On the facts stated in the question it would not appear that Colonel Bryan has any interests in the award of the Compensation (Ireland) Commission, and there would not therefore seem to be any ground on which representations could properly be made on his behalf by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom to His Majesty's Government in the Irish Free State. My right hon. Friend could not of course undertake to express any opinion upon the position as between lessor and tenant, which is purely a matter of law.
