HC Deb 05 March 1918 vol 103 cc1828-9
52. Major NEWMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether the Irish Convention has brought its deliberations to a close; and, if not, could the Regulation which prohibits discussion or comment on its proceedings, and which has been loyally observed for the past nine months by the members themselves and the Irish Press, but which has been treated as a dead letter by a portion of the Press of this country, be annulled?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.

Major NEWMAN

Is it not a fact that the Convention are now discussing questions like urban housing, land purchase, and so on?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member has had his reply.
