HC Deb 08 July 1918 vol 108 c38
55. Mr. KING

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been given to the publication in the Press of the Irish address to the President of the United States which the Lord Mayor of Dublin desired to tarry across the Atlantic in person; and whether it was by order of the War Cabinet that the Lord Mayor was refused a passport for this purpose?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The allegation that the Lord Mayor was refused a passport is unfounded.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Why was he not issued a passport?
