HC Deb 02 June 1921 vol 142 c1220
79. Mr. MOSLEY

asked the Chief Secretary whether forced labour recruited from the civilian population is now employed by the forces of the Crown in Ireland upon road repairs and similar labours; and whether the persons compelled to work upon these tasks are confined to the male sex?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

In regard to the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Attorney-General for Ireland to a question by the hon. Member for the Falls Divison on 21st February. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
