§ 10. Captain John Dugdaleasked the Secretary of State for War the percentage of men of military age serving in His Majesty's Forces in Northern Ireland, and the comparable figure for Great Britain?
§ The Secretary of State for War (Captain Margesson)I regret that the required information is not available.
§ Captain DugdaleIs the information being withheld, or is it not available?
§ Captain MargessonNo, Sir, it is not being withheld; the difficulty is to obtain accurate information. Many people go from Southern Ireland to Northern Ireland and enlist there, because they cannot do so in Southern Ireland and men from 1370 Northern Ireland sometimes enlist in this country.
