HC Deb 14 September 1909 vol 10 cc1927-8
Mr. MOORE

asked the Prime Minister if he is aware that, under 62 and 63 Vic., cap. 50, s. 26, the Annual Reports of the Agricultural and Technical Department are to be laid before Parliament, and that the Report for the year 1908 has not yet been laid; whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Vice-President of the Department, in a political address at Dundalk, on Tuesday last, purported to state the contents of such Report under various heads, though such Report has not yet been laid; and whether he will take steps to ensure that information contained in Parliamentary Papers should be first supplied to Members of this House?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Cherry)

The Prime Minister has asked me to reply.

Mr. MOORE

As the right hon. Gentleman the Attorney-General has no control over the Vice-President, I shall withdraw my question if the Prime Minister will not answer it.
