HC Deb 23 January 1929 vol 224 cc163-4
Sir WILLIAM DAVISON

(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he can inform the House as to whether Messrs. Wigg and Cochrane and other ex-British civil servants in the Irish Free State have now received the compensation to which they have on two occasions been held to be entitled by the Privy Council under Article 10 of the Irish Treaty?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Amery)

I hope to be able to make a statement at an early date as to the position arising out of the decision of the Judicial Committee in this matter.

Sir W. DAVISON

Will my right hon. Friend say when I may put a question down again?

Mr. AMERY

Perhaps if my hon. Friend will put down a question in a fortnight's time, I may be able to answer it.
