§ 50. Mr. LUNDONasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that all sections of Nationalists in Ireland view with a certain amount of alarm the retention of General Sir John Maxwell as head of the military command there; will he say if General Sir Bryan Mahon has been recalled from Egypt; and, if so, will steps be taken to have him put in command of the forces in Ireland and thus, even to a small extent, help to allay that feeling of unrest which exists in Ireland?
§ The PRIME MINISTERWith regard to the first part of the question, I am not aware that the facts are as stated by the hon. Member. The answer to the second part of the question is that Sir Bryan Mahon is home on sick leave from Egypt. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
