§ MR. NEWDEGATEasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government will consent to the Address relating to the Laws, Ordinances, &c. in force in Foreign Countries with respect to Monastic and Conventual Institutions, of which Notice has been given, on the understanding that the Documents requested by the Address are such as have been published in the Countries to which they relate, and would be furnished in several cases by extracts from the general Codes of Law in force in those Countries, provided such extracts comprise all that in such Codes applies to the subjects of the Notice?
§ MR. BOURKEWe will endeavour, Sir, to obtain the information mentioned in the Question of my hon. Friend through our Diplomatic Representatives abroad, and place the Documents in the Library of the House; but, as it is probable that the information will be voluminous, we must ask to be allowed to suspend our judgment for the present with regard to its being printed or presented to the House. Under these circumstances, my hon. Friend will probably think it unnecessary to move the Address of which he has given Notice.
§ MR. NEWDEGATEasked the right hon. and learned Member for Clare County whether he intended to oppose the Motion?
§ SIR COLMAN O'LOGHLEN, who had a Notice of an Amendment on the Paper, that the Address should not be agreed to, said, he certainly should move it.
§ MR. NEWDEGATEsaid, in that case, he should postpone his Motion until the 2nd of June.
