HC Deb 01 August 1887 vol 318 c723
MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

asked, whether the Government intended to make an effort to pass into law this Session the Bill for better preserving social order in Belfast, which, was founded on the recommendations of a Royal Commission?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

, in reply, said, he was anxious to pass the Bill, as well as other Bills for Ireland; but whether the state of Public Business would allow the Government to do so was another matter. The urgency for the measure had been somewhat diminished by the passing of the Criminal Law Amendment (Ireland) Act.
