Major BARNESasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any circulars marked private and confidential have been sent out in Ireland in connection with the recruiting campaign for the new Special Constabulary of well-disposed persons; and, if so, whether such circulars will be published forthwith?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI have no knowledge of any such circular, and none has been issued with my authority.
§ Mr. KILEYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland how many men in Ulster have offered their services to date as officers in the new special constabulary of well-disposed persons; and how many of the number were formerly members of the Ulster volunteer force?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to his somewhat similar question asked on this subject to-day.
