HC Deb 27 February 1917 vol 90 c1867
Mr. T. P. O'CONNOR

Is the right hon. Gentleman in a position to give a day for the discussion of the Motion standing in my name? ["That, with a view to strengthening the hands of the Allies in achieving the recognition of the equal rights of small nations and the principle of nationality against the opposite German principle of military domination and government without the consent of the governed, it is essential, without further delay, to confer upon Ireland the free institutions long promised to her."]

Mr. BONAR LAW

Yes, we propose that the Motion standing in the name of the hon. Gentleman be taken on Wednesday next week.

Mr. HOGGE

In view of the Pensions Estimate when is the Royal Warrant to be published?

Mr. BONAR LAW

To-night, I think.

Mr. KING

Will the Courts (Emergency Powers) Bill be taken to-day?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am informed that there is no chance of it being taken.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell us what is the business for tomorrow?

Mr. BONAR LAW

As I have informed the House, the first business will be the Motion with respect to restriction, or, rather, the absence of restrictions, with regard to the sale of refreshments in this House, and some of the small Bills on the Paper.
