§ 55. Mr. STEWARThad given notice to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state how many German prisoners have been released from the Isle of Man camps within the last 2136 six weeks; why have they been released and where are they to reside; and are any of the released prisoners to be permitted to reside in prohibited areas?
The HON. MEMBERsaid: I beg to postpone this question till to-morrow, when it will be addressed to the War Office. But may I ask the right hon. Gentleman if the Isle of Man Camp is not especially under the Home Office?
§ Mr. McKENNAUntil quite recently the administration did not rest with the Home Office with regard to the internment or release of prisoners. In future I shall answer all questions relating to this camp, but this particular question refers to the matters arising at a time when I had no control over it.
