HC Deb 05 August 1887 vol 318 c1368
MR. J. E. ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he will cause to be circulated a statement of any further Proclamations under "The Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act, 1887," similar to that ordered to be printed 29th July, 1887?

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

Of course, if any further Proclamations are issued, I shall be glad to give any information.

MR. J. E. ELLIS

My Question is, whether we shall have circulated a similar form of Return?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I shall have on objection. I suppose if any further counties are proclaimed under Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4, the same information will be given to the House as I have promised to give of these Proclamations.

MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

How will the right hon. Gentleman give a Return of any further Proclamations under the first four sections of the Act, seeing that he has proclaimed all the counties in Ireland under them already?

[No reply.]
