asked the Prime Minister whether he has considered the resolution from the Northern Ireland branch of the British Medical Association to the effect that conscription should be applied at once to the medical profession in Northern Ire land on the same basis as in Great Britain; and whether he will accede to this request?

My right hon. Friend is unable to trace the receipt of the resolution to which my hon. Friend refers. If he will supply my right hon. Friend with a copy of this resolution, it will be considered in connection with the statement on the general question of applying conscription in Northern Ireland, which, as was stated in reply to Questions on Tuesday last, my right hon. Friend hopes to make on the first Sitting Day after this week.
