10. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Lieutenant. Bertrand Stewart, a Territorial officer, has been released from imprisonment in Germany; will he say what notice has been taken of his conviction in Germany; and whether the release generously granted to him by the German Emperor will be followed by his reinstatement in the British Army in the position which he held before his conviction?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Seely)

Lieutenant Stewart has retained and continues to retain his commission.

Mr. KING

Has any notice been taken of his enforced absence?

Colonel SEELY

Of course, we knew of his enforced absence.
