43. Mr. G. MURRAYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to lay upon the Table of the House his communication to the Provisional Government of Southern Ireland referring t o the question of compensation?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Churchill)I am not yet in a position to do so.
Mr. MURRAYDoes not the right hon. Gentleman realise that nine days have passed since he told the House that he would lay this Paper and that it would be in the hands of the Provisional Government? How long has it taken to place the Paper in the hands of the Provisional Government?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI think that there was some further delay before it was settled, but I hope to be able to lay it. before the House rises.
