§ MR. M'GOVERN (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether the Report of the inquiry into the claims of the Royal Irish Constabulary has been presented to the Government; will it be laid upon the Table; and do the Government intend to take any steps to carry out the recommendations contained in the report; and, if so, at what date.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (MR. WYNDHAM,) DoverThe Report has been submitted to Government. It will be presented to Parliament, but no date can at present be assigned for its presentation. The Report is now engaging the consideration of Government.
§ MR. DILLONWill the right hon. Gentleman undertake to present the Report to Parliament before he takes any action on it?
SIR HOWARD VINCENTDoes the right hon. Gentleman propose to place any amount on the Estimates in connection with this matter this year?
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe recommendations contained in the Report are of great interest and are receiving very careful attention. It is because I do not see my way to asking for a considerable sum in the forthcoming Estimates that I have thought better to defer for the present any decision in respect to the question of presenting the Report to Parliament.
