§ 45. Mr. HOLTasked the Prime Minister if the Government still proposes to introduce and pass into law a measure of Irish self-government as the price for enabling this country to emerge triumphantly out of this War; and, if so, whether he will state what arrangements the Government are making to pay this price before it is too late?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI can add nothing to the previous replies on this subject.
§ Mr. PRINGLEIs it still the view of the Government that this is the price of the successful conclusion of the War?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI do not know what the hon. Member means.
§ Mr. PRINGLEIt is a quotation from the Prime Minister.
§ Mr. HOLTCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether he still agrees with the Prime Minister that Irish Home Rule is an essential measure in order that we may emerge successfully from the War?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI do not recall the particular speech referred to, but of course I am in agreement with the policy that was explained by the Prime Minister.
