HC Deb 15 April 1887 vol 313 c991
DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether there is any truth in the statement that the Dominion Government of Canada have signified their intention of placing Mr. O'Brien under police surveillance, in the event of his visiting Canada for the purpose of calling attention to the evictions on Lord Lansdowne's estates in Ireland?

THE SECRETAEY OF STATE (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)

I have received no information as to the alleged intention of the Canadian Government to place Mr. O'Brien under police surveillance if he visits Canada.

DR. TANNER

Is there any probability of my getting an answer to this Question? It has remained on the Paper a considerable time.

SIR HENRY HOLLAND

did not reply.

DR. TANNER

I will repeat the Question next Monday.
