HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 c498W
Mr. MUIR

asked the Under-Secretary to the Scottish Board of Health if he is aware that John Gallagher, 1, Duncruin Street, Maryhill, Glasgow, has resided at that address for the past two years and did reside there at the time of his arrest; that the police now state his address to be 22, Argyle Street, Maryhill; that his house at Duncruin Street was not visited by the police till they actually arrested him; that he has not stayed at any other address during the past two years; and, in view of the doubt here shown on the part of the police, will he state if he is satisfied that the person arrested is the person for whom the warrant was issued?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND

I am aware that the address named in the Order of Internment of John Gallagher was 22, Argyle Street, Maryhill, and that he was actually arrested on the 10th of April at 1, Duncruin Street, Maryhill. I understand that the police entertain no doubt that the Gallagher arrested is the person named in the Internment Order.

Mr. MUIR

asked the Under-Secretary to the Scottish Board of Health if he is aware that the warrant on which Denis Breslin, 17 years of age, of 6, Clarendon Street, Glasgow, was arrested was made out in the name of Michael Breslin, 22 years of age; that on the occasion of the general raid of 11th March this youth was seen and questioned by the police, and declared not to be the person they wanted; that he was born in Greenock; and that his father has been over 20 years in Scotland; and will he cause inquiries to be made with a view to the release of Denis Breslin?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND

The Order of Internment on which Denis Breslin was recently arrested was made out in the name of M. Breslin. No age was stated in the Order. Further inquiries are being made into this case, with particular reference to the points mentioned by the hon. Member.
