HC Deb 20 November 1918 vol 110 c3416
77. Mr. KING

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he has ordered the prohibition of a meeting announced at the Mansion House, Dublin, for this day; if so, for what reason; and whether Sinn Fein meetings in support of imprisoned candidates will be permitted in Ireland?

Mr. SHORTT

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. With regard to the later part, electioneering meetings, whether in support of Sinn Fein or other candidates, will be permitted.
