Mr. O'CONNORMay I ask the Leader of the House if, in face of the important manifesto issued by the Prime Minister with regard to Ireland, he will give the House a day for the discussion of that letter and the policy of the Government?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir, I do not think that, in the state of public business, I can promise any early date.
Mr. O'CONNORMay I then ask my right hon. Friend if, in view of the strong feeling which has been excited by this letter, he will give the House an opportunity, by accelerating the Irish Estimates, of immediately replying to that letter and discussing the policy in it?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI should have thought the hon. Gentleman was a little premature in talking of the strong feeling aroused by this letter, which was only published this morning; but if hon. Members desire to have the Irish Estimates put down, of course we will try to meet their wishes.
Mr. O'CONNORMay I say that when I expressed the view that there was a strong feeling, I was referring to the comments in all the independent journals in the country?
§ Mr. HAILWOODIn view of the very satisfactory feeling engendered in the House by the Prime Minister's letter, will the right hon. Gentleman see that it is circulated to all the Members?
