§ 49. Mr. GEORGE TERRELLasked the Prime Minister whether, in connection with the Committee stage of the Government of Ireland Bill, the Government propose to allow the vote of the Committee to be taken on Amendments which, if carried, may limit or alter the operation of the Bill, or whether the Committee stage is for all practical purposes to be abandoned, and Members are not to have the opportunity of giving effect to changes of opinion which may have taken place since the Bill was last before the House?
§ 54. Mr. CASSELasked whether, in view of the proposal to take the Second Readings of the Government of Ireland Bill, the Established Church (Wales) Bill, and the Temperance (Scotland) Bill successively without interruption because of the Committee stages of those Bills, the Government have now decided to give a substantial Committee stage to any of these Bills?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI must refer the hon. Members to what I said on the 7th ultimo, when the present intentions of the Government with regard to this stage of the Bill were clearly stated.
§ Mr. G. TERRELLWill the Prime Minister state definitely what his intentions are in regard to the Committee stages?
