17. Captain CRAIG

asked the Chief Secretary whether he will give a Return of the total number of persons now receiving police protection, either constant or by patrols, with names and districts in which such persons reside; and a Return of the number of persons now boycotted in any way, and the total number of extra police now employed in Irish counties, showing the number by counties in each case?

Mr. BIRRELL

I will circulate the answer with the Votes. [See Written, Answers this date.]

Mr. MOORE

Will the protection of these people be handed over as a new duty to the new Irish Parliament?

Mr. BIRRELL

The hon. and learned Member is well acquainted with the Bill.
