Home Rule Granted in Irish Bill Debate
London Nov 12 The Irish home rule bill passed the House of Commons on its third reading after opponents failed to defeat a motion for rejection by 183 to 52. The debate was tame with many Liberal and Labour members absent. Asquith urged leveraging Armistice day feelings for settlement, while Lloyd George defended the measure as generous but warned of dangers of Irish control over harbors and a potential conscript army. He argued Ireland could not justify its own navy and stressed risks to Britain. He closed by praising Ireland’s empire contributions and urging continued participation rather than breaking from the empire.
