HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 cc628-9
58. Sir W. BYLES

asked how many male and how many female persons have been arrested in Ireland in connection with the recent rebellion and are now imprisoned in England; when will they be tried; and in what courts?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

These figures are not at present available, but I will see if it is possible to obtain them. I cannot yet make a statement with regard to the last two parts of the question.

Sir W. BYLES

Will they be tried in a civil court?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have said that I could not say.
