HC Deb 26 July 1950 vol 478 c454
49. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Defence what communication he has had with the Defence Minister of Eire on the question of the infrastructure projects and their financial implications.

Mr. Shinwell

None, Sir.

Mr. Hughes

Are we to assume that Ireland is extraneous to the infrastructure projects?

Mr. Shinwell

The hon. Member can put his own construction on it.

Sir Ronald Ross

Is there any other community which is anti-Communist and which has asked for a pound of flesh before taking part in conversations on defence?
