Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From a speech in the House of Commons by Sir Edward Carson, Ulster Unionist,
15 February 1911. This was before the Liberal government introduced its Home Rule Bill
for Ireland.
I freely admit, that upon the question of Home Rule for Ireland, I am bitter. I loathe the
idea because, in my opinion, it would be of no possible advantage to my country. I have
never heard of any single financial or civil benefit that Home Rule can offer. When you
have given us our separate Parliament I should like to know where you are going to get
the taxes that are to run that Parliament, and where you are going to get the money 5
which will enable you to implement those great reforms which we are always told can
only be granted under a separate Parliament in Ireland. I prefer to depend for my
liberties and my rights on the Imperial Parliament of a great United Kingdom. No civilised
state in the world enjoys greater liberty than we have already. Home Rule is an issue
that reaches to the very heart of the constitution, yet it is being sneaked through without 10
being put to a people’s vote.
Source B
From a public speech by Andrew Bonar Law, 27 July 1912. Bonar Law was speaking at
a Unionist rally attended by 13 000 people at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
The government is attempting to force through Home Rule at the bidding of Mr Redmond,
against the will of the British people. The Conservative Party does not acknowledge the
Liberals’ right to carry through a revolution by such means. We regard the government
as a revolutionary committee, which has seized autocratic power by fraud. In our
opposition to the government, we shall use any means to force them to face the people 5
whom they have deceived. Even if the Home Rule Bill passes through the House of
Commons, what then? I said in the House of Commons, and I repeat here, that there are
things stronger than parliamentary majorities. I doubt that the government would ever
attempt to impose its will on the people of Ulster by force of arms, but if the attempt were
made they would succeed only in lighting the fires of civil war. I can imagine no length of 10
resistance to which Ulster will go in which I shall not be ready to support them.
