§ 31. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has received complaints as to brutality to military prisoners in Wandsworth Military Detention Barracks; and whether he will have inquiries made at once by an impartial person?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have received no complaints beyond a letter sent to me by my hon. and gallant Friend. In view of the fact that an impartial person visits the Detention Barracks once a week, as laid down in the Rules for Military Detention Barracks and Military Prisons, I do not think it is necessary for me to make any special inquiries.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODWould it be possible to get permission to visit the prison?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI shall be glad—in fact, I have written to my hon. and gallant Friend—to arrange to take him over the place at any time fixed.
