HC Deb 13 March 1911 vol 22 cc2020-1W
Captain CRAIG

asked the number of soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and wen, stationed in Dublin, Limerick, Cork, and the Curragh, respectively, during 1908, 1909, 1910, and 1911, to date, who have joined the Army as Protestants are recorded as having changed their religion to Roman Catholics; and in how many cases was this change followed by marriage with a Roman Catholic?

Mr. HALDANE

The information required would involve the examination of an enormous number of attestations and the preparation of corresponding returns by the Record Offices. I do not think that the labour involved would be justifiable in the interests of the public service.
