HC Deb 11 June 1917 vol 94 c610
Mr. GINNELL

I desire to ask leave to move the Adjournment of the House to call attention to a definite matter of urgent public importance namely, the prolonged incarceration of 126 Irish political prisoners in England under sentences of secret courts-martial in solitary confinement in unventilated cells in hot weather, the prevention of their attending Mass on Sundays, the brutality of chaining them in groups, and the transfer from place to place, the denial of the right of communicating with their friends, and the refusal to allow independent medical inspection of their condition.

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member for Chippenham has given notice that he was proposing to move the Adjournment. I propose to call him at the conclusion of Supplementary Questions.
