HC Deb 27 January 1913 vol 47 c976
46. Mr. CASSEL

asked whether, in the- event of the Government of Ireland Bill becoming law, Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, not expressly excepting Ireland, will after that apply to Ireland?

The PRIME MINISTER

The question whether an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom applies, in the absence of express provision, to Ireland will, after the passing of the Government of Ireland Bill, as now, be a question depending on the intention of Parliament as shown by the provisions of the Act.

Mr. CASSEL

Is the answer in the affirmative or the negative?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer is as I have given it.
