HC Deb 19 July 1916 vol 84 c990
10. Sir C. HENRY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the number of interned civilian male prisoners under the age of forty-five, the number between the ages of forty-five and fifty, and the number over fifty?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT: (Mr. Brace)

I am not in possession of the information desired and it could not be obtained without a great expenditure of time and trouble.

Sir C. HENRY

Does not my right hon. Friend think it would be worth while to go to the trouble and expense, seeing that these facts are material, taken in conjunction with what was said last week by the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs?

Mr. BRACE

I will put my hon. Friend's point to my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary.
