HC Deb 31 January 1951 vol 483 c897
51. Sir R. Ross

asked the Minister of Defence how many officers and other ranks of the defence forces of the Irish Republic attended courses at British Service establishments or were attached to British units for instruction during the past year.

Mr. A. Henderson

Thirty-eight, Sir.

Sir R. Ross

In view of the granting of this privilege of military training to the Government of the Irish Republic, ought they not to be very glad that when other countries are engaged in the defence of civilisation in Europe they are granted similar facilities in the most appropriate place?
