§ 82. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Home Secretary whether an order for the internment of Arthur Zadig, a naturalised British subject, was made in October, 1915, under Regulation 14 B; whether he carried the case to the House of Lords and was defeated; and why, when his internment was considered necessary, has he since been released?
§ Mr. BRACEThe answer to the first two parts of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the rest of the question, my right hon. Friend decided that after two years' detention the case should be reconsidered, and he referred it to the Advisory Committee, who advised that Zadig might now be released without danger to the State. The Internment Order was accordingly revoked with the concurrence of the competent military authority. Although at liberty, he remains subject to stringent restrictions.
§ Mr. KINGIs it not a fact that the terms of the recommendation by the Advisory Committee were that "it is for the national interest that he should now be released"?
