Turbulence in Parliament Over Pension Controversy
In the House of Commons April 21, a motion by T P OConnor to cut civil service estimates by 4500 tied to Sir Robert Andersons pension sparked old Parnell era memories. Irish Nationalists demanded a government probe into his actions, while Churchill and Asquith advised against pension removal. Pandemonium followed a Dublin University MPs tirade until the closure was moved and the motion defeated 164 to 94. The Spring recess was extended to May 26 delaying veto resolutions until June.
