§ 52. Major NEWMANasked 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 LAWThe answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.
§ Major NEWMANIs it not a fact that the Convention are now discussing questions like urban housing, land purchase, and so on?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member has had his reply.
