HC Deb 08 March 1917 vol 91 cc577-8W
Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will order an inquiry into the charge that Captain Grate, of the travelling medical board, recently at Mardy, near Ferndale, Rhondda, made a statement to the local members of the miners' lodge of the South Wales Miners' Federation to the effect that there were in America two millions of Irishmen ready to fight against the United States if the latter went to war with Germany?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have no information on the subject, but I have asked that an inquiry should be made.
