HC Deb 17 August 1894 vol 28 c1388
MR. T. M. HEALY

had on the Paper the following question:— To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if it is proved to the. Local Government Board that Strabane Conservatives whose rates are not paid are un-objected to for the forthcoming Register, what notice will be taken by them of such conduct? When he rose to put it,

MR. BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

interrupted, by saying—Mr. Speaker: Is it in Order in a question put in this House to insinuate the possibility of a public officer being guilty of neglect of duty?

MR. SPEAKER

The question is certainly hypothetical.

MR. BARTLEY

Does it not impute an offence?

MR. SPEAKER

I think it does.

[The question was not answered.]
