HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 cc673-4
Mr. DILLON

In consequence of the unsatisfactory character of the answer given to my first question, I beg to ask the permission of the House to move the Adjourn- ment of the House in order to draw attention to the continuance of executions in Ireland under the sanction of secret military tribunals, and the apparent want of any proper authority or control over the proceedings of the military in that country.

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member for East Mayo proposes to ask leave to move the Adjournment of the House in order to draw attention to a definite matter of urgent public importance, namely, the continuance of executions in Ireland under the sanction of secret military tribunals, and the apparent want of any proper authority and control over the military in that country. Has the hon. Member the leave of the House?

The pleasure of the House having been signified, the Motion stood over, under Standing Order No. 10, until a Quarter past Eight o'clock this evening.
