§ Mr. DEVLINasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists amongst Irish soldiers who volunteered for the duration of the War at the action of the authorities in retaining them for further service under the Military Service Act; and whether he will take action now to expedite the release of the men who volunteered for service during the War?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe men referred to by the hon. Member enlisted for the duration of the War, but as the War has not yet terminated, I regret I can take no special action to release them unless they are eligible for demobilisation under current instructions.
