Parley and Politics Across Ascension Week in Commons
The House of Commons holds a lively Ascension Week session with Irish questions dominating debate. The Irish University Bill faces strong opposition led by The O Conor Don and Sir Stafford Northcote, while Indian budget talks draw mixed interest as MPs depart. New peace with Afghanistan and Sir Garnet Wolseley’s appointment in South Africa mark major updates as ministers defend policy amid a wary House.
