§ 61. Sir B. PETOasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he can arrange for the Irish Grants Committee to hold special sittings to hear cases which came before them and in which fresh evidence has been produced but could not be put before the Committee before it reached the end of its sittings?
§ Mr. LUNNThe Irish Grants Committee heard its last case on the 3rd of February and is no longer in being for the purpose of hearing cases. The Secretary of State regrets that it is not possible to accede to the proposal made by the hon. Member.
§ Sir B. PETOBefore making that decision final, will the hon. Gentleman consider the very few extremely hard cases referred to in the question, and see whether some arrangement cannot be made in regard to them?
§ Mr. LUNNI cannot hold out any hope to the hon. Member that any further consideration will be given.
