§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will state how the expenses of the interned aliens' camps in the Isle of Man, namely, Cunningham Camp and Knockaloe Camp, are being met; and will he say who selected the sites for the camps and made the agreements under which the camps were set up and land hired?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELMy right lion. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The expenses of the internment camps in the Isle of Man are met as respects the guard out of Army funds, and as respects the maintenance of the camps and the inmates out of Local Government Board funds. In both cases the money is provided by the Votes of Credit. The Isle of Man Government, acting in consultation with the Home Office through the agency bf the Destitute Aliens' Committee, made all the arrangements for the establishment of the camps.
