MR. MACARTNEYasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Government contemplates the immediate withdrawal of troops from Ireland, as stated in the "Times" of Saturday the 5th March?
§ MR. CHILDERSI know nothing on this subject, except that I have read the paragraph in The Times to which the hon. Member refers. It conjectures what Government may probably do after the Arms Bill has passed. I really cannot undertake to answer all the predictions as to the future intentions of Her Majesty's Government which may appear in the newspapers.
