THE IRISH BILL.
DEBATE IN THE LORDS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Oct. 7. In the House of Lords there was a large muster for the debate on the Irish Bill. Viscount Grey, in the principal speech, declared that the definite understanding given to Ulster in 1920 was that no question of territory could be negotiated without Ulster’s consent. He would prefer to face the Free State’s demand for a Republic rather than see the understanding with Ulster broken. Viscount Grey expressed the opinion that the passage in the amendment limiting the powers of the commission would raise the whole question of the position of the House of Lords, therefore he advised a definite acceptance of the Bill or a rejection of the whole idea of saving the commission. The debate was adjourned till tomorrow.
