asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now return the Casement papers to Ireland.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I regret that I am not yet able to add to the reply which I gave on 14th May to Questions by my hon. Friend the Member for Taunton (Mr. du Cann) and the hon. Member for South Ayrshire (Mr. Emrys Hughes). As soon as I am in a position to make a statement I shall do so.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will agree to return the remains of Sir Roger Casement to be buried in Ireland.

Mr. R. A. Butler

No. I cannot make an exception to the normal rule.
