HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 c1738
44. Captain W. BENN

asked the Prime Minister whether he can make a statement regarding the new court for the trial of Irish political suspects; will the court try those already detained; will the proceedings be public; and will the evidence of witnesses be given on oath?

Mr. HENRY

I am not in a position to make any statement with regard to this matter at present.

Captain BENN

In the meantime will those detained on suspicion only be detained, or will they be released?

Mr. HENRY

If my recollection serves me aright, no one is at present in prison.
