§ Sir J. D. REESasked the Prime Minister whether he has seen the issue of the "Freewoman," of 27th June, 1912, in which one Guy Aldred refers to the unholy Trinity of craven Czar, renegade Briand, and Featherstone assassin Asquith, and threatens to organise an agitation for the release of one Savarkar, who was condemned at Bombay in June, 1911, and deported to the Andaman Islands, on the ground that the said Savarkar is a political prisoner; and what steps the Government propose to take to ensure proper recognition of the fact that British Law does not recognise political offenders, and to restrain the publication of seditious writings in the "Freewoman"?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe Prime Minister has asked me to reply to this question. I3196W have not seen the paper referred to, but the account of the article given by the hon. Member does not suggest that any further notice need be taken of it.
