HC Deb 05 April 1895 vol 32 c1032
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I understand the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to introduce the Local Veto Bill on Monday. Can he say whether the precedent of last year will be followed, and Ireland excluded from the operation of the Bill?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

The same course has been followed in the Bill I am about to introduce as in the Bill of last year, and for the same reason. Of course, it will be entirely open to the House to say whether or not Ireland should be included. I propose to follow the precedent of last year.
