HC Deb 27 February 1902 vol 103 c1301
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the result of the corresponence which has taken place between the Government and a Committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, in regard to the position assigned to the Moderator at Viceregal functions in Dublin; and, if there is any objection to laying the correspondence upon the Table.

MR. WYNDHAM

Communications have, I believe, passed on this subject between those interested and the Home Office, No conclusion has been arrived at.

THE MARQUESS OF HAMILTON (Londonderry)

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a general feeling among the various Protestant communities in Ireland that the desire of the Presbyterians on this point should be granted?

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

I beg to give notice that on the Home Office Vote tomorrow I shall raise this question.
