HC Deb 28 April 1882 vol 268 c1656
MR. HENEAGE

gave Notice that, on an early date, he would call attention to the present system of Administrative Government in Ireland, and move— That, on political, as well as administrative and economical grounds, it is desirable that the Vice regal Court and its surroundings he abolished, and that the office of Secretary of State for Ireland, with a Parliamentary Under Secretary, be legally constituted in lieu thereof.

MR. R. POWER

rose on a point of Order. He had a Bill with the very same object for the 17th May, and he wished to know if the hon. Member was entitled to take this action?

MR. SPEAKER

said, that it was a matter entirely for the determination of the House whether it would have before it the two Bills on the same subject. If the House thought proper, it could so determine.

MR. T. A. DICKSON

said, that the hon. Member for Great Grimsby had just anticipated him by the Notice he had given. He (Mr. T. A. Dickson) had a similar Resolution ready for some weeks past on the same subject as the one the hon. Member had given Notice of, and, therefore, he would cordially support him.
