HC Deb 07 August 1905 vol 151 cc383-4
MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can now state the decision of the Inspector-General regarding the recommendation of the Belfast Corporation that a Royal Irish Constabulary band should be established in Belfast.

MR. WALTER LONG

A decision has not yet been arrived at in this matter.

MR. SLOAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this matter has been under consideration for eighteen months?

MR. WALTER LONG

It has only lately been brought under my notice. I hops it will be decided almost immediately.
