§ MR. R. POWERasked, Whether the Government would still oppose the introduction of the Bill, of which he had given Notice, with regard to the Irish Vice Royalty?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERI simply wanted the purport of the hon. Member's Bill. If he will tell me privately what its nature is, probably we shall not oppose its introduction; but it is rather a peculiar title, and I thought it desirable the House should know something of what the Bill is.
§ MR. R. POWERThe object of the Bill is to abolish the Lord Lieutenancy as at present constituted.
§ MR. SEXTONasked the Chief Secretary, Whether he would still refuse him the usual courtesy of bringing in the Bill, of which he had given Notice, for the amendment of the Coercion Act?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERsaid, that with regard to that Bill, the hon. Member should be candidly informed that the first reading of it would be opposed by the Government.
