Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will define the position of Major-General Tudor in Ireland; whether he is acting under the direct instructions of Major-General Sir Nevil Macready; whether Major-General Macready was consulted as to the appointment of Major-General Tudor; and whether it was with the approval of Major-General Macready that Major-General Tudor was appointed to carry out his present duties?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI have been asked by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War to take this question. Major-General Tudor is Chief of Police in Ireland, and has under his command the Royal Irish Constabulary, Dublin Metropolitan Police, the Auxiliary and Veterans Divisions, and the Special Constabulary. He is responsible to the Civil Government. Major-General Tudor was selected by me on the recommendation of the Secretary of State for War, after consultation with General Sir Nevil Macready.
