§ 27. Viscount CURZONasked the Prime Minister whether any cases have recently occurred of attempted gun-running into Ireland; and, if so, whether any particulars can be given?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThere have been numerous rumours recently regarding the illegal landing of arms, and no doubt small arms are being surreptitiously smuggled into Ireland as occasion offers, but nothing is known of any recent attempt at gun-running in this country.
§ Viscount CURZONMay we take it that there is no truth in the statement with regard to the two ships detained in the Forth?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWA question is down on that subject, and I understand the Admiralty will answer it.
