HC Deb 12 May 1902 vol 107 cc1363-4
MR. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the speeches delivered in the Belfast Orange Hall on the 2nd instant at a meeting of the Belfast Protestant Association; whether he is aware that the chief speaker at the demonstration, a London clergyman, referred to the possibility of His Majesty the King being beheaded for Romanism, and alleged that His Majesty's present advisers are Papists at heart and are serving to their utmost the throne of Rome; and whether, in view of the effect of such speeches, the attention of the law advisers of his Majesty's Government has been drawn to the proceedings.

MR. WYNDHAM

A speech of this foolish character does not deserve and will not receive attention.
