HC Deb 11 July 1922 vol 156 cc1026-7
22. Mr. HOWARD GRITTEN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that proceedings brought in the High Court of Justice in Southern Ireland are being restrained in obedience to injunctions issued by the Republican Supreme Court; and will he state under what authority such powers are exercised by the Supreme Republican Court?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a question on this subject by the hon. and gallant Member for Bath on the 14th ultimo.

Mr. GRITTEN

Is the judiciary in the South of Ireland in a state of complete, or partial paralysis?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I should say nearer complete than partial.
