HC Deb 25 May 1897 vol 49 c1267
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Government will introduce a Bill to remove the disabilities which prevent the clergy of religious orders wearing their monastic habits in public, and other religious disabilities affecting Roman Catholics which remain from the penal times in Ireland?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

This is a matter, as I have already intimated, for the consideration of the Statute Law Revision Committee.
