HC Deb 08 March 1922 vol 151 cc1270-1
64. Sir C. YATE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies for what reason the men convicted at Manchester last year of shooting, arson, and other offences and sentenced to penal servitude have now been liberated?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Churchill)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement which I made on this subject in the course of my reply to a private notice question addressed to me by the hon. and gallant Member for South Antrim on the 13th February last?

Sir C. YATE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what that was?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I cannot.
