§ 15. Mr. Edeasked the Secretary of State for War, when the reconstitution of the North Irish Horse Light Tank Unit of the Royal Armoured Corps will have proceeded far enough to enable recruiting to be opened.
§ Sir V. WarrenderIt is hoped to start recruiting in about two months' time.
§ Mr. EdeDoes not the hon. Gentleman think that it is very disastrous that all these youths in Ulster, having been denied the benefit of conscription, cannot enlist for another two months?
§ Sir V. WarrenderThe necessary administrative arrangements have to be made.
§ Mr. EdeDid not the Prime Minister when he announced that he could not apply conscription to Ulster, make it clear that, at the earliest possible date, these people were to be given more opportunities for enlistment than English people?
§ Sir V. WarrenderWe are making arrangements as fast as possible.
