To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which documents are held by his Department written by(a) P. H. Pearse, (b) Thomas J. Clarke, (c) Thomas Macdonagh, (d) Edward Daly, (e) William Pearse, (f) Michael O'Hanrahan, (g) Joseph Mary Plunkett, (h) John MacBride, (i) Sean Heuston, (j) Michael Mallin, (k) Eamonn Ceannt, (1) Con Colbert, (m) Thomas Kent, (n) Sean MacDiarmada, (o) James Connolly and (p) Sir Roger Casement. [156303]

Mr. Ingram

I am not aware of any documents held by the Ministry of Defence written by those listed. However, a full answer could be given only after detailed research covering a large number of documents, which would involve disproportionate cost. The National Archives at Kew holds records (primarily in class W071) relating to these individuals which were formerly held by MOD.
