HC Deb 13 July 1916 vol 84 c504
21. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Home Secretary whether he has yet received any account of the arrest of Dr. Dundon on returning to Ireland from his honey-moon after the insurrection, and therefore unconnected with that event, and his deportation and detention since; why in the circumstances security for appearance, if required, was not taken from a gentleman of his class occupying a public position; how soon will he be released or tried; and what tribunal is to deal with claims for reparation in cases of mistaken arrest and discharge without trial?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

Dr. Dundon's case is under consideration by the Advisory Committee, who will consider any evidence he may offer on the point mentioned. The case was not one in which security could be taken, and I cannot entertain any question of compensation.
