asked the Home Secretary how many of the Irish Republican Army members, rounded up recently in this country, fought with the International Brigades in Spain?

Mr. Peake

My right hon. Friend has been in communication with the Commissioner of Police and is informed by him that so far as is known to the police, none of the I.R.A. men recently arrested with a view to deportation fought with the International Brigade in Spain.
