HC Deb 19 November 1918 vol 110 cc3343-4
43. Mr. RENDALL

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government are considering the question of the release of all persons from gaol who are alleged to be confined on religious, political, or conscientious grounds?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)

I can make no statement on this subject at present.

Mr. LOUGH

Will the right hon. Gentleman make it before the Session is over?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is being examined now by a Committee, but I do not think any proceedings can be taken so soon as that.
