HC Deb 24 February 1886 vol 302 cc1116-7
MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with reference to the reply the right hon. Gentleman made to his (Mr. Sexton's) Question on Friday last, Whether the Government have provided themselves with an official report of the speech delivered at Belfast on Monday night by Lord Randolph Churchill?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY)

I gave the suggestion of my hon. Friend the consideration which I thought it deserved. The result was that, on the whole, we might trust to the importance of any utterances of the noble Lord in Belfast to justify us in being confident that they would be reported in the ordinary way.
