HC Deb 03 June 1907 vol 175 c318
MR. GINNELL

I beg to ask the Prime Minister, having regard to Standing Order 47, which makes all Members representing Scottish constituencies members of a Standing Committee for the consideration of Bills relating exclusively to Scotland, and Standing Order 48, which makes all Members representing Welsh constituencies members of a Standing Committee for the consideration of Bills relating exclusively to Wales, do the Government propose, pending the establishment of a legislature in Ireland, that all Members representing Irish constituencies shall be members of a Standing Committee for the consideration of Bills relating exclusively to Ireland; and, if not, will he state what the intention of the Government is in this matter.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I am not aware that any section of Irish Members are in favour of an Irish Standing Committee.
