§ 26. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether he has any information from Hungary as to the number of suspected Socialists who are now interned in that country, and as to the conditions in the internment camps there?
Mr. HARMSWORTHAs regards the total number of persons interned in Hungary, I can only refer to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull on 23rd March. But I cannot say that all these persons are interned for purely political reasons.
As stated then, H M. High Commissioner, who had visited the principal interment camp, reported favourably on it. I may add that the Swiss representative of the International Red Cross Society, who visited the camp at the end of December last, found conditions as satisfactory as could be expected
