Sir H. DALZIEL(by Private Notice) asked the Prime Minister whether there is any objection to the House being placed in possession of the heads of agreement approved by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Dublin University, and the hon. and learned Member for Waterford, in reference to the proposed Irish settlement. And, further, whether the Government propose to provide an opportunity to the House to discuss the breakdown of negotiations?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWith regard to the first part of the question the heads of agreement, as I have already promised, will be laid as soon as possible. With regard to the last part of the question, this matter was discussed last night. I am not aware that there is any general desire for a further discussion at this moment. The Government would be glad, if desired, to give facilities for such discussion.
Sir H. DALZIELIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that British members have had no opportunity of discussing the matter, and seeing that they have some interest in the matter will the right hon. Gentleman reconsider his decision?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have not given any decision. I am quite ready, if a general desire is expressed, to consider it.
