HC Deb 24 July 1924 vol 176 c1495
22. Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Home Secretary whether the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into certain provisions of the Restoration of Order in Ireland Act has yet been presented?

Mr. HENDERSON

The Committee referred to was appointed toy the Prime Minister. I am informed that the Report of the Committee has not been received, but I understand that it may be expected at an early date.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Is it not a fact that the last meeting of the Committee was held eight months ago, and in May last did not the right hon. Gentleman assure the House that the Report of the Committee would be presented almost immediately?

Mr. HENDERSON

I think the delay has arisen very largely in consequence of the illness of one of the members of the Committee.
