HC Deb 29 April 1907 vol 173 cc518-9
MR. LEA (St. Pancras, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, with reference to the Annual Report on the Army [Cd. 3365], page 81, what were the rank and corps of the seven men serving abroad who were sentenced to penal servitude during the year ending 30th September, 1906; will he give in each case the offence or offences for which each man was tried, the sentences inflicted, and when, where and by whom they were tried, and also the names of the persons who confirmed the sentences; whether the evidence has since been submitted to the Judge Advocate General; and if he sanctioned each sentence.

MR HALDANE

The information is too long to read out to the House, and I will have it printed in the Votes and Proceedings.†

MR. LEA

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the statistics affecting India as well?

MR. HALDANE

I will consider that.
