59. Colonel NEWMANasked the Prime Minister whether, in the event of the further stages of the Government of Ireland Bill not being proceeded with until later in the year, the Government intend to immediately introduce and pass into law measures important to Ireland, such as the completion of land purchase and the reform of the Irish education system.
§ Mr. BONAR LAW (Leader of the House)As it is the intention of the 623 Government to carry the Government of Ireland Bill through its remaining stages, it is not necessary to consider the hypothesis in the last part of the question.
Colonel NEWMANIs it intended to proceed with the Government of Ireland Bill before the Autumn recess?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI doubt whether there will be any more time for it before the Autumn recess, but it will be proceeded with when we resume.
