§ MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Government intend to found a Bill upon the recommendations made in the Report of the Royal Commission on the Belfast Riots; and, if so, whether he can say when the Bill will be brought in?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.), in reply, said, the Report was only presented to the Lord Lieutenant a few days ago, and it was only the Report of four out of the five Commissioners. The Report of the dissenting Commissioner had not yet been sent in; and, of course, it would be premature for him (Sir Michael Hicks-Beach) to express any opinion as to what should be done in the matter.
§ MR. SEXTONHas the dissenting Commissioner stated that he would send in an independent Report?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHYes; he has written to say that he would do so.
