HC Deb 31 May 1880 vol 252 c774
MR. GIVAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether it is the intention of the Government to deal with the Irish Grand Jury question early in the next Session of Parliament, and by a Bill specially directed to the reform of the Irish Grand Jury system?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

Sir, my hon. Friend asked a somewhat similar Question a few days ago, and I must again say I cannot give him a definite answer. He is very anxious for the reform of the Grand Jury system, and I think it is generally agreed that it requires reform. But it is not the only Irish matter upon which reform is demanded, and it is impossible for me to give my hon. Friend a Sessional programme for next year.
