43. Colonel NEWMANasked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the fact that seven months have elapsed since the cessation of hostilities between the forces of the Crown and of the Irish Re publican party, and to the necessity in which many of those are placed who have had their homes, property, and business destroyed in the course of these hostilities, he is in a position to name a day for the introduction of the promised Bill of Indemnity?
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN (Leader of the House)I am not yet in a position to name a definite date for the introduction of this Bill.
§ Lieut.-Colonel CROFTIs it not possible in advance to give some relief to these persons who are absolutely starving?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat question does not arise, and I ask hon. Members not to put such questions. It is most unfair to other hon. Members.
