HC Deb 19 July 1916 vol 84 c1029W
Mr. KENNEDY

asked how many Irish prisoners are still in confinement, stating the place or places of detention?

Mr. SAMUEL

There are about 1,400 interned Irish prisoners now at Frongoch. I cannot give the exact figure, as releases, in accordance with the recommendations of the Advisory Committee, are taking place daily. There are also twenty-seven at Reading, a few others in hospitals, and three women prisoners at Lewes.
