HC Deb 07 April 1921 vol 140 cc430-1
37. Captain Viscount CURZON

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the withdrawal of all Crown forces and services from the martial law areas in Ireland and any loyalists who may wish to leave, and the establishment of a modified form of blockade, to be intensified as requisite, in order to save life to both sides and to secure an economy of force?

The PRIME MINISTER

I trust it will not be necessary to contemplate any such action as is indicated in my Noble Friend's question.
