HC Deb 02 December 1920 vol 135 cc1417-8
40. Viscount CURZON

asked the Prime Minister whether any Members of Parliament are known to belong to the Irish republican army; and, if so, under present conditions, would they be allowed to enter this country should they desire to take their seats?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the last part, which is hypothetical, I am not prepared to make any statement.

Colonel C. LOWTHER

Will Members who advocate the hanging of Ministers be allowed to take their seats?
