HC Deb 19 October 1916 vol 86 c716
18. Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the recent Order in Council giving the police authorities power to prevent political meetings or processions likely to cause disturbance or disaffection is now in force in Ireland, and whether the earlier Order of the military authorities preventing all political meetings of every description without the prior permission of the police being obtained has in consequence been withdrawn?

Mr. DUKE

The reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second part in the negative.
