HC Deb 17 February 1916 vol 80 c212
83. Mr. CURRIE

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether, now that the details of recruiting in Ireland have been published in Lord Wimborne's Report, similar information regarding the state of recruiting in Scotland will be published?

Mr. TENNANT

No, Sir, there has been no decision to publish information specially in regard to the state of recruiting in Scotland.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us no facts about Scotland?

Mr. TENNANT

I can refer my hon. Friend to many works published annually.

Mr. PRINGLE

Is there any reason why information with regard to Ireland is published, while it is withheld in regard to Scotland?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes, Sir, every reason.

Mr. PRINGLE

What are the reasons?
