§ Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Home Secretary if any persons deported from Ireland by order of the so-called republican or Sinn Fein courts or tribunals have arrived in this country; if so, how many; what action the police in this country take in regard to such persons; and whether their evidence is taken in regard to the circumstances and so-called trials which led to their deportation?
§ Mr. SHORTTSo far as I can ascertain, no such persons have arrived in this country. The two latter parts of the question, therefore, do not arise.
§ Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland the alleged offences for which persons have been ordered to be deported from Ireland by so-called Republican or Sinn Fein courts or tribunals; and how many of such persons have been deported from Ireland to this country?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI am not in a position to give the information asked for in the question, but inquiries are being made.
