§ Mr. BYRNEasked the Prime Minister if he is aware that no progress whatever has been made with reconstruction with regard to Ireland; whether several Committees have reported on matters affecting reconstruction in Great Britain without taking into consideration the case of Ireland; and whether he will without delay appoint a Committee consisting of Irishmen to examine every branch of Irish requirements in connection with recontion after the War?
§ Dr. ADDISONI have been asked by my right hon. Friend to answer this question. I cannot admit the accuracy of the suggestion contained in the first part of the question; in reply to the second part, the hon. Member must be aware that Ireland stands in a different category from other portions of the United Kingdom in regard to many of the problems of reconstruction, and it may, therefore, happen from time to time that recommendations are made which are required for England, Scotland, and Wales, but which are not applicable to Ireland. In reply to the last paragraph, I have consulted my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary.
