§ Lieut.-Colonel WILLEYasked the Prime Minister if, in view of the very large amount of time occupied by questions on Ireland, he will arrange that note be taken of the proportion of the hour allotted to questions daily so occupied, and if he will arrange in future that the proportion shall not exceed one-quarter of the whole, or 15 minutes, and that when such period has been expended further questions on Ireland shall be deferred for the day, and thus ensure a reasonable chance of questions addressed to other Ministers being put?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINAs questions on Ireland are given preference on only one day a week, I do not think it is desirable to interfere with the practice at present obtaining in the House in this matter.
