HC Deb 28 November 1912 vol 44 c1474
51. Mr. NEWMAN

asked what method will be employed in the selection of the Members of the Irish House of Commons who shall be summoned to this House when any revision takes place of the financial provisions of the Government of Ireland Bill in accordance with the terms of Sub-section (3) of Clause 26 of that Bill; whether regulations for summoning such Members will be published; and whether this House will have an opportunity of considering such regulations before the Clause is reached in Committee?

The PRIME MINISTER

Power is given by the Bill to make by Order in Council such provision as may be necessary or proper for the purposes when the occasion arises. It would be premature to do so now.

Mr. NEWMAN

In the event of the Irish Parliament selecting a peer to come over here on that occasion, would he be able to sit and vote in this House?

The PRIME MINISTER

indicated assent.
