THE O'CONOR DONasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether the Government intend to bring in any Bill this Session dealing with the Grand Jury Laws in Ireland?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHI believe there is a desire on both sides of the House for some legislation on this subject; but judging from past debates, I think there is a marked difference of opinion as to what that legislation should be. I would remind the hon. Member that there are already before the House three Irish measures of first-class importance introduced by Her Majesty's Government; and until some progress has been made with them I certainly could not promise to undertake a Bill on such a subject as Grand Jury reform.
