HC Deb 25 October 1920 vol 133 c1380W
Mr. SWAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland the number of magistrates who have left the British service as a protest against the military violence of the British Government?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

Out of a total of 5,000 magistrates in Ireland, 1,069 have resigned their commissions since April, 1920, but I cannot say how many of these have resigned for the reason stated in the question.
