HC Deb 07 May 1908 vol 188 c439
CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down, E.)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in view of the recrudescence of cattle-driving and boycotting and outrages in which firearms are used in Connection with agrarian disputes in the South and West of Ireland, the Cabinet will drop the proposed State endowed Roman Catholic University Bill.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BIRRELL,) Bristol, N.

My right hon. friend is very pre-occupied to-day and he has asked me to answer the Question in the negative.

CAPTAIN CRAIG

Does the right hon. Gentleman repudiate the statement he made at Southampton warning people against cattle-driving?

MR. BIRRELL

I shall require notice of that Question.
