HC Deb 27 June 1940 vol 362 c585
42. Mr. Cocks

asked the Home Secretary what reply he has made to the repeated representations of the Government of Northern Ireland on the dangers of the unrestricted right of entry into that country from Southern Ireland?

Sir J. Anderson

I explained in reply to questions on 20th June the result of my consultations with the Government of Northern Ireland on this subject.

Mr. Cocks

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Minister in the Northern Ireland Government said that they had no control whatever over the frontier, and had made representations to the Imperial Government on the matter?

Sir J. Anderson

In his Question the hon. Gentleman referred to "repeated representations." I have not the slightest idea what he has in mind.

Mr. Logan

Will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to see that the whole of Ireland becomes united?

Sir J. Anderson

That is not my responsibility.

Mr. Cocks

On a point of Order. May I put this question to the Home Secretary—

Mr. Speaker

We must get on with Questions.
