| Summary: | Mr. Delargy declares that the clause in question (Clause 1 (1), paragraph b), which he sees as gratuitously hostile, is entirely unnecessary, and radically changes the government's policy on Irish unity; he says the government have always claimed to be neutral, but are now taking sides for the first time in the quarrel over partition. |

The Ireland Act of 1949, passed by the U.K. Parliament, declared that the Republic of Ireland was not part of His Majesty's dominions, but was not to be regarded as a foreign country, nor its citizens to be regarded as aliens; and that Northern Ireland would not cease to be part of His Majesty's dominions without the consent of its parliament. The Act was introduced in response to the declaration of an Irish Republic by the Oireachtas in December 1948. Physical description: 1 item. more |
