HC Deb 03 April 1900 vol 81 cc1076-7
MR. FLAVIN

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is the intention of the Government to restore to the Commission of the Peace the chairmen of the county and district councils in Ireland who have been removed from the same by the Lord Chancellor.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

This is a matter entirely within the discretion of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland.

MR. FLAVIN

Can the First Lord say why Irish Members are not removed from the House of Commons, seeing that they have also expressed their opinions on the Transvaal war, as well as the magistrates in question?

[No answer was returned.]
