HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 cc858-9W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he can state any reason for refusing the same facilities that are now afforded to Members of Parliament to societies formed for visiting and providing comforts for Irish prisoners of war in this country; whether permits will be issued to such societies enabling persons appointed by them to visit all the prisoners together, or in large sections, so that all may be treated alike; whether two hours in the afternoon will be set apart for this purpose, leaving the morning visiting time to relatives; and whether permits issued for this purpose will be made available for the camps to which some of those prisoners are being transferred?

Mr. TENNANT

This question should, I think, be addressed to the Home Office.
