HC Deb 26 July 1916 vol 84 c1696

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. H. Campbell) presented a Bill "to amend the Law and Procedure of Civil Courts in Ireland in relation to conditions arising out of the recent disturbances in that country."

Mr. GINNELL

Is it in order to introduce in this stealthy manner a Bill of the character described on the Paper and which is almost certain to be highly controversial, and will you not require the right hon. Gentleman to inform the House what this Bill proposes to do?

Mr. SPEAKER

The Standing Orders provide for presentation of Bills, and this follows the Standing Order.

Mr. GINNELL

Do they provide for a Debate on the Bill now?

Mr. SPEAKER

No.

Bill read a first time; to be read a second time To-morrow, and to be printed. [Bill 74.]
