HC Deb 08 May 1923 vol 163 c2141
29. Mr. MAXTON

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland if he will shortly be able to return to the managers of the newspaper "Eire" the books containing names and addresses of subscribers to the paper, seized by the police in connection with the recent deportations to Ireland?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND

It is anticipated that the books referred to will be returned shortly.

Mr. MAXTON

Seeing that all possible value to the authorities in detaining these books is now gone, could not the Solicitor-General for Scotland promise that they shall be returned at once?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND

I understand that they will be returned in the course of a very few days.
