§ MR SEXTON (Belfast, W.)wished to ask, if the Government intended or not to exert themselves to pass into law this Session their Bill for the better Government of Belfast?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)That Bill is also blocked.
§ MR. SEXTONDoes the right hon. Gentleman intend to allow this Bill to remain under the operation of the Blocking Rule?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI cannot help it. The Government could not help it; but so long as there was a possibility of its being passed they would not remove it from the Paper.
