HC Deb 20 March 1893 vol 10 c517
MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN (Birmingham, W.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will kindly state the numbers of the clauses of the Government of Ireland Bill which contain the provisions by which, in case of great emergency, such as foreign war, the Government expect to get fair and full contributions from Irish sources to Imperial exigencies?

MR. W. E. GLADSTONE

The answer is a very simple one. I believe that the only portions of the Bill directly referring to the subject-matter of my right hon. Friend's question are two sub-sections in Clause 10—namely, Subsections 2 and 5—and the explanations of these we shall enter into upon the Second Reading of the Bill.
