§ MR. SEXTONasked the Solicitor General for Ireland whether Colonel Forbes, R. M. (Belfast) has received notice of his removal from Belfast; whether he is to be succeeded by a barrister; and whether this is with the view of carrying out one of the recommendations of the Belfast Riots Commission; and, if so, whether the other recommendations of the Commission will be adopted?
§ * MR. MADDENI believe Col. Forbes has either left or is about to leave Belfast. The gentleman who succeeds him is a barrister. This step was not taken with the view of carrying out one of the recommendations of the Belfast Riots Commission, though it is in accordance with the spirit of that recommendation.
§ MR. SEXTONWas Colonel Forbes removed by his own desire or against his will.
§ MR. MADDENThe hon. Member must give me notice of the question.
