52. Lieut.-Colonel Sir F. HALLasked the Prime Minister if he will arrange for the circulation of a précis of the correspondence and discussions which took place between the Cabinet and the representatives of Ulster and Southern Ireland last year, so far as they bear upon the proposals for the alteration of the boundaries of Ulster, so that the House may, in connection with their consideration of the Bill to confirm the Articles of Agreement for the setting up of the Free State, know to what extent the Cabinet have withdrawn from the pledges given as to the territorial integrity of Ulster at the time of the passing of the Irish Government Act, which was accepted by Ulster on the faith of those pledges?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI know of no correspondence with the representatives of either party in Ireland on this subject; nor are there any papers which could be published.
