Mr. FLAVIN

asked the Home Secretary how many Irish political prisoners he is now in a position to order the release of, in addition to the 460 whose release was ordered last week, as a result of the inquiry by the judicial tribunal?

Mr. SAMUEL

Recommendations have been received from the Advisory Committee for the release of 248 more men in addition to those I mentioned last week. "Their release will take place after the discharge of the first group has been completed.
