§ COLONEL KENYON-SLANEYTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to a handbill circulated in Dublin which contains slanders and falsehoods as to the soldiers of the Irish regiments and of the British Army; and whether he will take the necessary steps not only to prohibit its further circulation, but also adequately to punish those responsible for its publication.
§ (Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) My attention has not been specially drawn to the handbill alluded to, nor do I think it expedient in the interests of recruiting to take the action suggested.
