HC Deb 10 July 1906 vol 160 c733
CAPTAIN CRAIG

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to a speech delivered by the Lord-Lieutenant in Cork, on the 4th July, in which he stated that His Majesty's advisers will not be forgetful of the undertaking in His Majesty's Speech from the Throne, to study most carefully what can be done for the fulfilment of the aspirations, alluded to in an address presented by the town council, in favour of the passing of a measure that would entrust to them the control of their own affairs; and, if so, whether he can give any information as to the steps intended to be taken to fulfil the aspirations alluded to.

MR. BRYCE

I may refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the First Lord of the Treasury to a Question addressed to him on Wednesday last by the hon. Member for Mid Armagh,† to which I cannot add anything.

†See Col. 59.

CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)

Can the right hon. Gentleman contrive to warn the Lord-Lieutenant that the Member for East Down has his eye upon him?

CAPTAIN CRAIG

That is unnecessary.
