QUESTION IN COMMONS
STATEMENT BY MACDONALD
LONDON, 4th December
In the House of Commons, on the motion for tho adjournment, the Marquess of Hai'tington called attention to the right of British subjects overseas to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, in view of a statement by tho Minister that the Irish Free State- no longer intended to respect the .jurisdiction of that final Court. Lord Hartington hoped that Mr. Mac Donald would make a decisive announcement on the matter.
Mr. Mac Donald, replying, said that appeal to the Privy Council was discussed at the Imperial Conference in 1920 and referred to the next Conference. The Government expected that, if any Dominion Government desired to go beyond that open and unsettled position, it should communicate with the British Government.
