HC Deb 19 March 1920 vol 126 cc2643-4W
1 Lord R. CECIL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he will grant the Return standing in the name of the Member for Hitchin for Monday next relating to outrages in Ireland; and, if so, by when the Return can be made?

[Return showing, with dates, the number of murders of members of the Royal Irish Constabulary and of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, and of soldiers, officials, and civilians, and the number of political outrages on persons and property in Ireland since thest day of January, 1919.]

Mr. MACPHERSON

With regard to the first part of the question I would refer the Noble Lord to the reply given to a question on this subject asked yesterday by my hon. and gallant Friend, the Member for Bury St. Edmunds (Lieut.-Col. Guinness). With regard to the latter part of the question, I am having a Return of Outrages brought up to date, which will be presented, and which I hope will give the Noble Lord the information he requires.
