Mr. FREEMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that political prisoners in Palestine have renewed their hunger-strike because of the alleged failure of the prison authorities at Acre to observe assurances given for special treatment to be accorded to political prisoners; how many prisoners are now hunger-striking in Palestine; what improvements have been made for reasonable privileges to be accorded to political prisoners; and what further action, if any, he proposes to take in the matter?
