§ 49. Mr. S. MacNEILLasked the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the statement of Sir Hedley Le Bas in his Report to the War Office-in reference to recruiting in Ireland that he was plainly told by certain members of 181 recruiting committees in Dublin that they did not want too many Nationalist recruits, any and, if so, what steps have been taken for the combing out from recruiting committees persons who have made statements likely to prejudice the recruiting of any of His Majesty's subjects and rendering them liable to prosecution under the Regulations of the Defence of the Realm Act?
§ Mr. FORSTERI have not at present been able to get access to a copy of the Report referred to in the question, and I would therefore be obliged if the hon. Member would be good enough to postpone his question.
