HC Deb 16 November 1916 vol 87 cc999-1000W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Home Secretary why Messrs. Scollan and Neeson, who were respectively the Frongoch prisoners' treasury and secretary, were transferred to Reading; and if he will instruct the commandant to issue a balance sheet, from the first day of the opening of the canteen, to be submitted to the prisoners?

Mr. SAMUEL

J. T. Scollan and J. Neeson were transferred to Reading by my direction, as it was reported to me that such transfer was desirable in the interests of discipline at Frongoch. The monthly balance sheet of the canteen account is, I understand, now posted in the camp. I will inquire whether it is practicable to post a balance sheet to cover the whole period from the opening of the canteen.
