HC Deb 08 May 1912 vol 38 c394
Sir JOHN LONSDALE

asked the Prime Minister whether he can state the procedure under the proposed Government of Ireland Bill by which Imperial supremacy is to be exercised and enforced in an instance where the Imperial Parliament having formally objected to or vetoed a measure passed by the Irish Government the latter, rather than submit, resigns?

Mr. BIRRELL

No special procedure is provided or needed. If such a case were to arise, it is clear that the measure referred to would not have the effect of law.
