§ CAPTAIN PRICE (Devonport)asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whe- 918 ther an amnesty in connection with Her Majesty's Jubilee has been extended to any class of offenders in the Royal Navy; if so, to what extent is the amnesty retrospective, and to how many oases will it probably apply?
§ COLONEL WARINGasked whether it was a fact that a general amnesty had been refused to the Royal Marines tried by military court martial?
THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)The only persons belonging to the Navy who received an amnesty in connection with Her Majesty's Jubilee were those who were undergoing imprisonment for offences of leave breaking, and I presume that that will probably include Marines. The number of men released under these conditions is 31.
