HC Deb 16 June 1921 vol 143 cc582-3
27. Captain W. BENN

asked the Prime Minister whether a decision has yet been come to with reference to compensation to innocent victims of reprisals?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I have nothing at present to add to the reply which the Prime Minister gave to a previous similar question by the hon. and gallant Member on the 2nd June.

Captain BENN

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when it is anticipated the decision will be arrived at?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

It is quite impossible to fix a date for this most important decision.

Major MACKENZIE WOOD

Is the right hon. Gentleman still prepared to burn houses without proof of guilt.

Sir H. GREENWOOD

No.

Mr. WHITE

Will the right hon. Gentleman withdraw the Proclamation that was issued in Listowel?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question on the Paper.
