HC Deb 18 February 1937 vol 320 c1395W
Mr. McGovern

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can state the total number of Arab and Jewish prisoners, respectively, in Acre Prison, Palestine; the largest number of prisoners in any single cell; if there are any lavatory conveniences in these cells; the number of criminal lunatics confined in this prison; and how many prisoners are chained in solitary confinement cells?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I have not the information for which the hon. Member asks. I am requesting the Acting High Commissioner for Palestine to furnish me with a report on the subject.
