HC Deb 09 May 1922 vol 153 cc1979-80
18. Mr. ERSKINE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps, if any, the Government are taking, or are prepared to take, in order to reconquer Southern Ireland; and what force would be available for this purpose?

The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Sir Hamar Greenwood)

No, Sir, I have no statement to make on such a subject.

Mr. ERSKINE

Does the right hon. Gentleman intend not to move in the matter until compelled by an indignant public opinion?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member is giving his own opinions.
