HC Deb 15 August 1901 vol 99 c926
MR. JOHN REDMOND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that a number of Roman Catholic coopers in the employment of the Anglo-American Oil Company, in Belfast, have been discharged from their employment on the ground that the company was no longer able to afford them any protection from attacks by workmen of other religions; and can he state what steps he intends to take in the matter.

MR. WYNDHAM

The question, which only appeared on the Paper this morning, has been referred to the Commissioner of Police at Belfast for report. Perhaps the hon. Member will be good enough to repeat the question to-morrow.
