Major BARNES

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what Regulations are in force in Ireland providing for imprisonment without trial; and what is their nature?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The only Regulation in force in Ireland permitting imprisonment without trial is No. 14B of the Restoration of Order in Ireland Regulations. No person is at present interned under this Regulation. The provisions regarding persons awaiting trial for offences against the Restoration of Order in Ireland Regulations will be found in Regulation 56 (3) and (10). These provisions do not materially differ in effect from those regarding persons awaiting trial for offences against the ordinary civil law.

Major BARNES

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any Regulations are in force in Ireland providing for deportation; and, if so, what are they and what is their nature?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I would refer the hon. Member to the Restoration of Order in Ireland Regulations Nos. 14B, 56 (10) and 78, Section 9 of the Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Act, 1919, and Article 12 of the Aliens Order, 1920.
