§ MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)In the absence of my hon. Friend the Member for South Londonderry, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to the resolutions passed at a large public conference of the Ulster Tenant - Farmers' Association held at Belfast on the 10th instant; and whether he will take any steps with regard to any of the points named in those resolutions?
MR. J. MORLEYMy attention has been drawn to the resolutions referred to, and I can only say that, in common with many others of more or less similar purport, they will receive the consideration of the Irish Government.
MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)Arising out of this question, may I inquire whether the right hon. Gentleman is aware a Bill having the same object as the resolution, brought in by the Member 39 for one of the Divisions of Fermanagh, is blocked night after night by the hon. and learned Member for South Antrim?
§ MR. CLANCYAnd has the hon. Member for South Tyrone any reason for supposing that a Bill dealing with this matter will pass the House of Lords?
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLThe question is not mine.
