HC Deb 21 January 1941 vol 368 c70W
Major Braithwaite

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he has any information as to the steps which have been taken by the Government of Eire to deal with invading German parachutists?

Mr. Shakespeare

I think that the hon. and gallant Member may assume that the Hire Government are taking steps to deal with the peril to which the hon. and gallant Member's Question refers.

Major Braithwaite

asked the Prime Minister whether he has seen the recent German announcement with regard to Eire; and, in view of the similarity of this to the violation of Norwegian neutrality, he will take full steps to counter any attempt by the Germans to invade Eire?

The Prime Minister

I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that the Government have all such contingencies fully in mind.
