§ 21. Mr. LUNDONasked the Secretary of State for War during what hours the office of the Military Press Censor in Ireland is opened, and how many hours a week the head of that Department is supposed to look after his duties; what particular officer does duty in the absence of Lord Decies; how many days since the rebellion of Easter week the latter person has been absent from all public duties; and why it has been possible for him to be so absent?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe office of the Press Censor in Dublin is open night and day for the convenience of the Press, but the Press Censor is, of course, not required to be present continuously. If he is away a competent assistant is always present.
§ Mr. FORSTERI do not know; perhaps the hon. Gentleman will give me notice of the question.
