8. Mr. BYRNE

asked if any orders have yet been issued for the release of the Irish prisoners at Frongoch; and if any recommendations have been sent from the Irish Office on their behalf?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir G. Cave)

I beg to refer to the statement made yesterday in this House by my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary.

Mr. GINNELL

Will the two ladies interned at Aylesbury be released now?

Sir G. CAVE

Yes, I think that the statement applies to them.

Mr. BUTCHER

Does it apply to those sentenced by courts-martial?

Sir G. CAVE

Only to those who are interned.
