§ Mr. BYRNEasked the Minister of Munitions whether he will take steps to acquaint himself with the contents of a telegram signed by a person named Lyall and addressed to the Ministry of Munitions in Dublin, on or about the 24th January last, regarding Major Downie; whether the contents of the telegram are an insult to an officer holding the King's commission; and if he will take steps to have Lyall removed from the public service?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThe telegram to which I presume the hon. Member refers, was one of a routine nature sent after Major Downie's resignation had been accepted. The telegram gave the usual instructions that official documents should no longer be forwarded to Major Downie. No further action is called for.
