HC Deb 05 November 1912 vol 43 c1042W
Mr. HORNER

asked the Postmaster-General whether, if the Government of Ireland Bill becomes Law, the Irish Parliament will have power to pass a law respecting a licence to carry a gun to kill game; and, if so, whether the present £3 licence to kill game, which covers the whole of the United Kingdom, would then include Ireland?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Irish Parliament will have power to increase the duty on the Excise Licence to kill game in Ireland, and, if they do so, the person killing game in Ireland must pay the extra, duty under the Irish law, which has force, in addition to the United Kingdom law, under Clauses 15 and 38 of the Bill.
