47. Lieut.-Colonel MALONE

asked the Prime Minister whether, before the passing of the Government of Ireland Bill, he will consider submitting this Measure, with other alternatives, to a referendum of the Irish people, or by any other means obtaining the opinion and wishes of the Irish electorate?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Lloyd George)

I am not prepared to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion.
