HC Deb 11 July 1918 vol 108 cc473-4
9. Mr. KING

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, seeing that it is now several weeks since the Government policy of voluntary recruiting in Ireland was initiated, he will state the numbers of recruits enlisted up to a recent date?

The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Shortt)

The information is not available at present.

Mr. KING

Is there any information at all available anywhere—that is to say, has there been any result whatever?

Mr. SHORTT

Oh, yes!
