In the House of Commons, on the Home Rule Bill debate, at Clause 13, providing for the retention of the Irish members at Westminster, Mr F. Cassell moved to exclude all Irish members from the Imperial Parliament until there was no deficit in the Irish expenditure for three successive years. The Right Hon. H. H. Asquith defended their retention as a, necessary part of general devolution, whereof Irish. Home Rule was the first step. Mr Redmond said that, pending the completion of the Federal system, the anomaly of Irishmen at Westminster must be endured.
Mr Balfour derided the .idea of general devolution, otherwise the Government would not have, handed the Customs to Ireland.
The amendment was rejected by 315 to 213.
