HC Deb 09 August 1905 vol 151 cc778-9

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Lords Amendments be now considered."

MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)

objected.

MR. JOHN BURNS (Battersea)

appealed to the hon. Member to withdraw his objection. It was a Bill in which all concerned were agreed. It had passed through all its stages in both Houses, and an objection now to the Lords Amendments, which raised no point of controversy, would involve the loss of the Bill for the present year.

MR. T. M.HEALY

declined to withdraw his objection. The House was, he said, now in charge of a little knot of Ulster Orangemen. They could get nothing from these Members unless they were "nasty," and till the "Orangegang" was got rid of he should object to everything.

MR. CALDWELL (Lanarkshire, Mid)

who had charge of private business, pointed out that the objection of the hon. and learned Member, if persisted in, would have the effect of destroying the Bill altogether this session.

MR. T. M. HEALY

said his friend must first try to induce the "Orangegang" to drop the Rathmines and Rathgar Bill.

Consideration of Lords Amendments deferred till Tomorrow.
