§ MR. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will take steps to prohibit the collection of money at the political meetings held every Sunday on Government property in Belfast; and whether he will consult the First Commissioner of Works as to the regulations at present in force in that respect in Hyde Park, London.
† See (4) Debates, cv., 1456.
THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYXDHAM,) DoverThe collection of money in Hyde Park is prohibited by Statute. I have no power to act as suggested, and do not propose to introduce legislation.
§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)Is it not the fact that the First Commissioner of Works of the last ten years has made regulations prohibiting the collection of money in Hyde Park, and has not the right hon. Gentleman similar power with regard to Government property in Ireland?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have said not. The collection in Hyde Park is prohibited under the Parks Regulation Act,1872.
