ASSISTANT UNDER-SECRETAEY FOR ULSTER. (Hansard, 25 October 1920)

§ 49. Mr. HOGGE
asked the Prime Minister if he will state when the Supplementary Estimate for the salary of the new Under-Secretary for Ulster will be presented, and when an opportunity will be given for its discussion?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN
I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the recently appointed Assistant Under-Secretary for Ulster. It is hoped that this expenditure can be met out of savings on the Vote, in which case a Supplementary Estimate will be unnecessary.

§ Mr. HOGGE
Does that mean that we will have no opportunity of discussing this new appointment for a separate part of Ireland?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN
That question should not be addressed to me.

§ Mr. HOGGE
May I ask the Prime Minister, who is responsible for the Business of the House, to say whether we shall have an opportunity of discussing this change of policy, or elaboration of policy, in the appointment of a new Assistant Secretary for Ulster?

§ The PRIME MINISTER
That is a matter for the Leader of the House.
