HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 c2392
61. Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Prime Minister if the Government will consider the question of compensating those working-class families whose furniture has been destroyed as a result of military action during the recent street fighting in North King Street and other areas in Dublin?

Mr. SAMUEL

The Government are considering the question of the limits of compensation, and a further statement will be made as soon as possible.

Sir J. D. REES

Is not the question of compensation for the Sherwood Foresters more urgent, as these men have lost their lives?

Mr. SAMUEL

That does not arise out of this question.
