HC Deb 02 June 1921 vol 142 cc1219-20
76. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Chief Secretary how many officers and men of the military and police forces in Ireland have been kidnapped and imprisoned or murdered by the rebels?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

My hon. Friend will appreciate that in cases where officers have been kidnapped, it is often not possible definitely to establish whether or not they have been murdered by the rebels. I am, however, preparing a statement which, if my hon. Friend will repeat his question next week, I shall be happy to give him.
