§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether the inquiry into the system of Government in Ireland, which was mentioned in His Majesty's gracious Speech from the Throne, it still proceeding; and whether any proposals have yet been formulated with a view to the introduction of a Bill next session to constitute a representative body in Dublin for the control of Irish finances, and the performance of such legislative functions as may be delegated to it.
§ SIR H CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe hon. Gentleman need not be afraid that this question is escaping our attention. The subject is under the consideration of His Majesty's Government, but I am not in a position to make any statement on it.
§ MR. LONSDALEI am not afraid.
