HC Deb 10 August 1916 vol 85 c1207
16. Colonel GRETTON

asked whether, in the cases of Naval Courts of Inquiry where civilian witnesses may be criminally implicated, it is intended to take powers to add civilians to the Court as in the Army Act Amendment Bill of this Session?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Should the circumstances contemplated in my hon. Friend's question arise, the Board of Admiralty will consider what additional powers, if any, are required.
