§ MR. LEWISasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the Act restricting the possession of arms in Ireland does not expire on the 1st June next; and, whether the Government intend to introduce at an early date a Bill to renew or extend its provisions?
THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. JOHN MORLEY)My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this Question. The Act will expire on June 1 next, I believe; but it would be quite premature for me to make any announcement now of the intentions of the Government with respect to it.
