HC Deb 25 February 1904 vol 130 c991
MR. P. A. McHUGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Crown Solicitor for Carlow has been selected as Unionist candidate for the St. Stephen's Green Division of Dublin; if so, will he state whether there is any authority in Ireland whose duty it is to prevent public officials connected with the administration of the Law from taking part in Party politics; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

MR. WYNDHAM

I understand that Mr. Goddard, though invited to stand as candidate, has not accepted the invitation.
