HC Deb 14 March 1917 vol 91 c1108W
Mr. FARRELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is yet in a position to state whether the local government elections will be held this year or not; and whether, in any event, as the time of nomination is rapidly approaching, some definite decision should be at once arrived at?

Mr. DUKE

I understand that this matter will probably be dealt with by an Act of general application.
