HC Deb 21 July 1893 vol 15 cc211-2
MR. THEOBALD

I wish to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if lie will insert in the Government of Ireland Bill a clause to legalise the hoisting and flying of the national emblem over licensed premises in Ireland, and to legalise the hoisting and flying of the Royal Standard over any hotel in which any member of the Royal Family may be staying?

MR. W. E. GLADSTONE

Considering the extent which the labours of the House of Commons have already reached in connection with the Government of Ireland Bill, and also considering that this question has no very close or immediate connection with that Bill, I do not think the Government ought to make any engagement on this matter.

MR. THEOBALD

I shall call attention to it at an early date.
