HC Deb 02 April 1941 vol 370 cc994-5
42. Mr. Tinker

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the number who have joined the forces from Northern Ireland is in proportion to the numbers who are in the forces in this country according to the relative populations?

The Financial Secretary to the War Office (Mr. Richard Law)

I regret that the required information is not available.

Mr. Tinker

Has the hon. Gentleman any idea as to whether Northern Ireland are giving their quota as promised when the Constitution was passed, because a number of Irishmen from Northern Ireland who are coming to this country are of military age and it is causing a lot of feeling?
