§ 66. Mr. DEVLINasked the Prime Minister whether he will have published a complete list of the places where the Irish prisoners are interned, the names of the prisoners in each place, and the regulations as to letters, parcels, and visits from their friends and relations?
§ Mr. TENNANTLists of the names of the Irish prisoners have appeared in the Irish papers, and these state, I think, the place of internment. Regulations as to letters, parcels, and visits from friends and relatives were published in the Irish papers early last week, were read out by me in this House on Thursday last and appeared in all the English papers on Friday last. I will ask the Press to reprint the communiqué of Friday last.
§ 71. Mr. LUNDONasked the Prime Minister whether he is in a position to state how it is proposed to deal with the prisoners deported from Ireland; and whether they are to be kept on in the various detention barracks, in separate cells and denied all intercourse with each other, or whether, pending any decision as to their future treatment, they will be allowed the ordinary facilities extended to prisoners of war?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not yet, though I hope very soon to be, in a position to answer the first part of the question. The prisoners are, I am informed, except in a very few cases, allowed intercourse with one another, and I understand that they are allowed the ordinary facilities extended to prisoners of war.
