HC Deb 04 March 1901 vol 90 c402
Mr. JOYCE

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he has received information from various public bodies, by resolution and otherwise, expressing their disapproval at the words which His Majesty the King had to make use of at the opening of Parliament with regard to the Roman Catholic religion; and if he will give the matter his consideration.

Mr. A. J. BALFOUR

Yes, Sir, I have received information of the kind to which the lion. Gentleman refers. I have nothing to add to the statement I have already made in answer to a similar question on the Paper.

Mr. JOYCE

I should like the right hon. Gentleman to answer the last paragraph of the question.

Mr. A. J. BALFOUR

I think it clear from the answer that I have given it consideration.

Mr. JOHN REDMOND

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he has seen the resolution which was passed by the Canadian Parliament on the subject?

Mr. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir, I have not.

Mr. JOHN REDMOND

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he is interested in the subject?

*Mr. SPEAKER

Order, order!
