On Thursday in the House of Commons Mr. Boner Law

made the important statement that Mr. Austen Chamberlain would move, on behalf of the Opposition, a motion demanding an impartial inquiry into the movement of troops in Ulster. Mr. Asquith promised two days for the debate—Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Mr. Boner Law asked the Prime Minister whether he would obtain from Sir Arthur Paget his report of the communications verbally made to him by Cabinet Ministers, and also his account of what he said to his officers at the second Conference referred to in the White Paper. But Mr. Asquith, "as at present advised," did not think it would be possible to comply with the request.
