HC Deb 08 July 1908 vol 191 c1681
MR. LONSDALE

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he can fix another day for the consideration of Irish Estimates in Committee of Supply; and whether he will put down as first Order for that day the Vote for the Chief Secretary's salary.

MR. ASQUITH

I regret that I cannot at present fix another day for the consideration of Irish Estimates.

MR. LONSDALE

Why do the Government show such remarkable reluctance to discuss this Vote?

MR. ASQUITH

We show no reluctance.

MR. CHARLES CRAIG

In view of the fact that the condition of Ireland, as regards cattle-driving, is growing steadily worse——

MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member is now completely contradicting the statement made by the Attorney-General.

MR. CHARLES CRAIG

I certainly do contradict it.
