HC Deb 17 July 1919 vol 118 c592
45. Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

asked the Prime Minister what will be the nature of the Parliamentary body to consider and report on a scheme of federal devolution; and whether the composition of the body will be announced before the Recess?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am not yet in a position to give the particulars asked for, but I hope that it may be possible to set up this body before the Recess.

Lieut.-Colonel MALONE

May we have an assurance that the appointment of this Commission will not in any way delay a decision on the Irish question?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is not appointed for that purpose; I can only say that.
