§ 71. Mr. BYRNEasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the advis- 322 ability of allowing to go free on leaving hospital Irish prisoners who were wounded during the rising in Ireland?
Mr. SAMUELI understand that the persons to whom the hon. Member refers are some of those in respect of whom internment orders have been made. In that event their cases will be dealt with by the Advisory Committee like the rest, and I fear I cannot give directions for them to be set at liberty pending the decision.
§ Mr. BYRNEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that some of these men have been discharged from hospitals to English prisons, where they are now confined to bed and are not getting proper hospital treatment?
Mr. SAMUELI am not aware of that. If the hon. Member will draw my attention to any particular case I will certainly have it carefully inquired into.
