HC Deb 15 May 1930 vol 238 c2031
30. Major ROSS

asked the Home Secretary whether he is now in a position to make a statement as to when he will be able to introduce the Court of Criminal Appeal (Northern Ireland) Bill?

Mr. CLYNES

I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Major ROSS

When will the right hon. Gentleman be able to give us some idea as to when this Bill which is asked for by all parties in Northern Ireland may be expected?

Mr. CLYNES

There are Bills which are thought to be non-controversial, but which afterwards are found to meet with strong opposition. I cannot at present add to my answer, but perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will repeat the question later.

Major ROSS

Will it be possible to see the Bill in print? Then it might be easier to say whether it would be controversial or not.
