HC Deb 28 April 1913 vol 52 cc804-5
78. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked whether the Local Government Board has any objection to the publication, in whole or part, of the evidence of the Rt. Hon. Sir Henry Robinson before the Committee on Irish Finance?

Mr. BIRRELL

Sir Henry Robinson does not consent to his evidence being published, as he holds that there are serious objections to the publication of evidence given under an assurance that it would be treated as confidential. This is not a matter which concerns the other members of the Board.

79. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked whether any of the official witnesses before the Committee on Irish Finance who have objected to the publication of their evidence offered any objection to the publication of summaries of their evidence in the Report of that Committee?

Mr. BIRRELL

No, Sir.
