HC Deb 19 February 1883 vol 276 cc306-7
MR. KENNARD

asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether, when addressing an audience at Sheffield lately, he stated that the Right Hon. gentleman the Member for Bradford had not specifically declined to agree with the Prime Minister as to the policy of negotiating terms of agreement with the members of the Irish Party then confined at Kilmainham? The hon. Gentleman said he wished to substitute the word "arrangement" for the word "agreement." appearing on the Notice Paper.

MR. MUNDELLA

The hon. Member has put one Question on the Notice Paper and has now substituted for it another and entirely different Question, which he now proposes to alter. I made no statement at all resembling the one first put on the Paper. With respect to the substituted Question, I did not use the language employed by the hon. Member. What I did say was a mere statement of opinion on the question which I formed, like any other Member of the House, from hearing the debates on the subject.
