HC Deb 27 February 1919 vol 112 c1933
25. Captain REDMOND

asked whether there is in existence a full Report of the proceedings of the Irish Convention; whether he proposes to have that Report published; and, if not, why not?

Mr. SAMUELS

My right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary has no knowledge of any fuller Report of the proceedings of the Convention than that which has been already officially published.

Mr. DEVLIN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Chief Secretary for Ireland has no knowledge of anything in Ireland?

Captain REDMOND

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a full Report was taken of the proceedings at the Convention, that it was proposed to publish this Report, and that a small minority of the members refused to allow this Report to be published; and whether, in view of these facts, he will now give his assent to the wish of the overwhelming majority of the members of the Convention?

Mr. SAMUELS

I am not prepared to give any further answer on the subject.

Mr. MOLES

Will the right hon. Gentleman also take into consideration the question of copyright when he considers the matter of publication?
