HC Deb 25 June 1925 vol 185 cc1727-8
Mr. W. M. ADAMSON

I submitted to you, Mr. Speaker, a question to the Minister of Agriculture with reference to the importation of Irish labourers into Suffolk. I would like to ask you, Sir, what is the reason for refusing the question?

Mr. SPEAKER

I asked the hon. Member to put it on the Paper. It is not a question that came under the class which can be taken after a quarter to 4 o'clock.

Mr. ADAMSON

Are you aware, Sir, that I put a question upon this point 10 days ago, on which the Minister was unable then to give me an answer? The difficulty still exists, and I think we are entitled to some explanation, and report upon the question.

Mr. SPEAKER

If the hon. Member will put it on the Paper, I hope that he will get the information.

Mr. ADAMSON

But men are out of employment, while Irish labourers are being imported, and I want to know something about it.
