HC Deb 01 June 1916 vol 82 c2932W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will convey to the American Ambassador an expression of the gratitude of the Irish people for the mitigation in the treatment of the Irish political prisoners, due to the influence, direct and indirect, of American Consuls and other American citizens?

Sir E. GREY

The hon. Member's question contains statements which, so far as the Foreign Office is aware, are not true, and I do not therefore propose to take any action upon them.
