12. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can state how many troops are now stationed in Ireland?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Sir R. Sanders)

The total strength of the troops in Ireland is approximately 56,000 all ranks.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is there any truth in the report in to-day's papers that troops are being brought over from Ireland to this country?

Sir R. SANDERS

I should like notice of that question.
