§ 18. General McCALMONTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the military authorities in Ireland have authorised any statement to be issued as to the number of recruits recently raised in the city and county of Dublin; and, if so, will he state what the figures are?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI must ask for the postponement of this question.
§ General McCALMONTCan the right hon. Gentleman give me some reason for the postponement, in view of the fact that it has already been twice postponed, and that a statement was made on the matter in the Press last week?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONTo be quite frank with my hon. and gallant Friend, I asked 2018 my own authority this morning about this particular matter, and he is looking into the point now, and he was then still in communication with Dublin.
