HC Deb 19 March 1941 vol 370 cc166-7W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any statistics available indicating the average interval of time between arrest and trial in cases tried by courts-martial since the outbreak of war, and between a finding of guilty and promulgation of sentence?

Captain Margesson

I regret that the information required is not readily available and could not be obtained without a disproportionate amount of labour.
