Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the words uttered by certain Irish priests inciting to the murder of policemen and others if they discharge their duty in certain circumstances; and, if so, what action the Government are taking or, if they have decided not to take any action, will immunity also be granted to persons in England, Scotland, and Wales who utter similar incitements?
§ Mr. SAMUELSThe attention of my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary has been drawn to alleged incitement to 169 forcible resistance to the police. The Government has the matter under careful consideration.
§ Mr. KINGIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that a number of the statements put forward in the Government communiqué have been diametrically denied?
