HC Deb 06 August 1924 vol 176 c2963W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Home Secretary if he is now prepared to amnesty all persons now in prison in Great Britain for political offences, including, as far as possible, all Irish political prisoners in British prisons?

Mr. DAVIES

Prisoners are not classified according to the motives underlying their offences even when those motives are known, which is by no means always the case, but as previously stated in the House my right hon. Friend is always ready to examine on its merits any individual case that is brought before him.
