HC Deb 27 June 1916 vol 83 c710
25. Major NEWMAN

asked whether the increase in recruiting record in Ireland has stimulated the flow of recruits; and whether the War Office are satisfied with the present and future prospects of recruiting on the voluntary basis in Ireland?

Mr. TENNANT

The circumstances of the moment in relation to recruiting and affairs generally in Ireland do not seem propitious for making a statement of the kind suggested in the question.
