HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 cc930-1
49. Mr. LYNN

asked the Prime Minister whether, he is aware of the services that the citizens of Belfast have rendered in supplying men, ships, and munitions of War; and whether he will state the reasons which have induced the Government to exclude Belfast from the benefits of the Ministry of Health?

Major ASTOR

The answer to the first part is in the affirmative. My right hon. Friend understands that my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary for Ireland is proposing to confer to-morrow with the hon. Members interested in regard to the application of this Bill to Ireland.

Mr. McGUFFIN

What information has been given to the Members who are concerned?

Major ASTOR

That question should be addressed to the Chief Secretary for Ireland.

Mr. McGUFFIN

If this is for tomorrow, we should have got notice of it.
