HC Deb 22 November 1916 vol 87 c1440W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Home Secretary what are the conditions of the Irish prisoners at Frongoch Camp; how many are in hospital and how many are undergoing punishment for trifling offences; if the commandant has yet been removed; and when the prisoners are likely to be released?

Mr. SAMUEL

Upon the first and last parts of the question I can add nothing to the numerous statements which I have already made in this House. With regard to the second part, I am informed that on 17th November there were eight men in hospital, fifteen awaiting trial by a military Court, and four in cells undergoing punishment. The answer to the third part is in the negative.
