HC Deb 16 February 1914 vol 58 cc588-9
Mr. FIELD

I desire to ask the Chief Secretary a question, of which I have given him private notice: Whether he can state the reasons why a meeting of Dublin town tenants was prevented from being held in Kevin Street; whether he can state by whose authority and upon what information the meeting was proclaimed; whether the police were present in large numbers to prevent the meeting; and whether the officer in charge refused to give any reason for its prevention?

The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)

I have no information, and this is quite new to me. I will telegraph for information, and as soon as I get the facts I will communicate with the hon. Member.

Mr. FIELD

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the information to-morrow?

Mr. BIRRELL

I expect to do so.
