Shouid a’United Irisn Parliament

of the excises
and

the
amount
Ireland
would have
to contribute
is
somewhat
reduced
by a provision
in

shall
present
one
million

to
each
of
the
two
parliaments
at

It is
also
bro-
vided
that
the
lrish
shall
have
land
worth
about
three
million pounds
annu-
ally,
and
the
Bill
contains
a
detailed
(Government
proposal
for the
immediaie
completion
of a
land
purchase
scheme.
Civil
servants,
as
regards
pensions,
would be.protected
bv
the Imperial Gov-
ernment,
according
to another
provision
of the bill and
this
is one
of the
reascns
wly
the
imperial
contrcl
of
the
post
office
is
retained,
noctwithstanding
<he
Home
Rule
Bill
o
nineteen
fourteen
which
made
the
Irish
Posc
Oifice
an
Irish
institurion.
The
Impérial
Par-
liament
would
retain
this
conn.'ol
until
sueh
titne
as
the
two
parlia-
ments work
out
2
scheme
for its
direc-
tion
by
a
Council for
Irzlands and
re-
quest
is
made
to
the
Imperial
2arlia
ment
to
turn it
over.
The
measure
fol-
lows
closely
the
outline
given
in
the
House
of Commons
by
Mr. Lloyd George
in
December
last.
By
its
provisions,
two
Parliaments
would
be
set
up,
one
tor the
North of
Trelazd
and
the
othér
for tne
South,
the
Northeen
Parliament
to consist
of
iifty-two merabers
ard
the
Soiithern
of
one
hundred
and
twenty-
eight.
Representation
in
the
Imperial
Parliament
would
be
twelve
so-
the
North
of
Ireland,
and
tairty
fcr
the
South
of Ireland,
necessitating
the
re-
appointment
of I.eland
as
providad for
in the
Bills.
The Northery
area
would
be composed
of the
couanties
of
Antrim,
Armagh,
Down,
Fermanagh,
Lcndon-
derry and
I'vrone,
and
the borouzns
of
Belfast
and
Londonderry.
A
Counci!
for Ireland
composed
of
forty
members
also
provided for
in the
811.
The
Le-
gislative
Powers
of
the
Council
would
be
only
those
granted
by
th:
two
legislatures,
but
the
framers
of
the
Bill hope it
will form
a
nucleus
around
which could be
built
one pacliament
for
the
whole
of
Ireland
almost
unlimited
executive.
legislature
and
judicial are
provided
for such
a united
Parliament,
but the
power
to
be
conferred
on
the
separate
parliaments
would
be
ccnsid-
erably
curtailed.
Responsibility
for
or-
ganizing
a
united parliament
and
power
to
create
it
are
left
entirely
with
the
two legislatures.
The
Bill provides that
this
Parliament,
if formed,
would
con-
trol
customs
and
excises
at
the
outset.
According
to
the
Biil
this
Parliament
would
have
full
control
cf
education,
local Govt.,
the land
policy,
agriculture,
roads
and
bridges,
transportation,
old
age
pensions,
municipal
affairs,

to
be
controlied
by
the
Irish
Pariiament,
‘each
body
controling
the
officer
in
its
own

and
there
would
be
a
court
of
appeal
for
the
whole
of
Ireland,
provided
over
by
the
Lord
Chancellor.
