Special Committee Defence Bill, 1951 díospóireacht -
Thursday, 20 Mar 1952

SECTION 52.

Question proposed: " That Section 52 stand part of the Bill."

I take it that all changes will be notified ; for instance, if an officer becomes a member of the House it will be notified in Iris Oifigiúil. We find that we finish this section with the interesting position that a member of our Irish House of Parliament can be a reserve officer in the British Army but can not be a reserve officer in his own Army and I believe that it has happened.

We have not provided anything in this Bill to deal with that. He cannot be in uniform in the House.

I have great hopes that we will bring the Minister around to our point of view with regard to that.

Question put and agreed to.
The Committee adjourned at 9.20 p.m. until 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25th.
