HC Deb 22 June 1916 vol 83 c292
37. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Minister of Munitions if he can state what steps, if any, he has taken, or intends to take, to hear the views of the Irish labour representatives and the Irish Women's Franchise League on the proposed settlement of the Irish question; and if the settlement is to be of a temporary or permanent nature?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MUNITIONS DEPARTMENT (Dr. Addison)

My right hon. Friend has received no communication from the Irish labour representatives or from the Irish Women's Franchise League. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday by the Prime Minister in answer to a question by the hon. Member for Chertsey.
