HC Deb 11 May 1916 vol 82 c888
78. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will state the charges on which Mr. Eoin MacNeill, of Dublin, and Mr. Herbert Pim, of Belfast, have been arrested; where, when, and by what kind of tribunal they are to be tried; and whether they are allowed private consultation with friends or legal advisers?

Mr. TENNANT

If the hon. Gentleman will have patience I shall be able to give him information about these two men, but he will, I am sure, recognise that it is impossible to obtain information simultaneously on so many different matters.

Mr. GINNELL

How soon does the right hon. Gentleman expect to be able to give the information?

Mr. TENNANT

The hon. Gentleman might repeat his question in eight days.
