HC Deb 28 January 1943 vol 386 c635W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the four men who were arrested in Jamaica in November for alleged subversive activities are still in detention; and when they will be brought to trial?

Colonel Stanley

Detention under Jamaica Defence Regulation 18 is a preventive measure and the question of trial does not arise. These men were duly informed of their rights under the Regulation to make objections to the local advisory committee.
