THE ULSTER PARLIAMENT

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—With reference to your criticism of the Ulster Parliament in your issue of November 18th, I should be glad to know what legislation you have in mind when you suggest that the Ulster Parliament should proceed in advance of, instead of step by step with, the Imperial Parliament, bearing in mind the enormous amount of legislation which both Parlia- ments have introduced recently, and the present economic position. I have pleasure in enclosing the King's Speech for the ensuing short session.—I am, Sir, &c., [The suggestion intended was that if there is a case for an independent Parliament in Northern Ireland (which in existing circumstances cannot be questioned) that body might do more towards enacting special measures suited to its special needs and rely less on simply adapting and adopting Acts of the Imperial Parliament.—ED. Spectator.]
