§ * MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state what is the number of troops required in Ireland; what is the present strength, with the approximate cost; and where are these troops stationed.
§ MR. HALDANEThe figures for all ranks are as follows:—
Establishment. | Strength. | Cost. | |
£ | |||
Regulars | 29,005 | 25,827 | 2,648,000 |
Militia | 29,279 | 19,468 | 398,000 |
Yeomanry | 940 | 911 | 19,000 |
§ I cannot undertake to read out to the House the list of places at which these troops are stationed. If the hon. Member will refer to the Army List, he will, I think, find the information he requires.
§ * MR. VINCENT KENNEDYWill the right hon. Gentleman say when and where these troops were actively engaged in Ireland?
§ MR. HALDANEI must refer the hon. Member for these particulars to the Army List.
