53. Lieut.-Colonel Sir F. HALLasked the Prime Minister if he will consider the possibility of arranging for the Chief Secretary's speech on the Irish question delivered in this House on 24th November to be printed in pamphlet form for distribution here and abroad, in view of the gross calumnies on the conduct of the Army and police force in Ireland which are being circulated for political purposes, particularly in this country and the United States?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe speech of my right hon. Friend was very fully reported throughout the United Kingdom, and the Government have endeavoured to cause the real facts to be known abroad, and particularly in the United States, but it is not considered that the specific suggestion of my hon. Friend could be usefully adopted.
