HC Deb 30 June 1908 vol 191 c568
CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government has taken any steps, directly or indirectly, to ascertain the views of the Vatican, or those entitled to speak for it in this country, respecting the Irish Universities Bill now in Committee of the House; and if their approval has been secured for the measure.

SIR EDWARD GREY

The Answer to both Questions is in the negative.

CAPTAIN CRAIG

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that unless the approval of the Vatican or its representatives in this country is received to this Bill not a single Roman Catholic will dare enter the University of Ireland?

[No Answer was returned.]
