HC Deb 13 December 1911 vol 32 c2343
Mr. BURGOYNE

asked whether discontent was manifested by the lower deck of the "Medina" immediately prior to her departure from Porstmouth, at the accommodation provided for them; and whether, as a result, fifty-four men were removed from her, and many of these subsequently confined for various terms in the detention barracks?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have made careful inquiries, and am informed that the rumours which I understand the hon. Member desires to clear up by his question, are devoid of all foundation. Nothing of the sort ever occurred.
