§ 39 Mr. GLANVILLEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War (1) if he will hold an inquiry into the allegations of ill-treatment being inflicted upon B. J. Boxall, F. C. Colman, and W. E. Reynolds, all of whom are attached to the 6th (Reserve) Battalion London Rifles, at Fovant Camp, Wilts, on 1st and 2nd June; if he will, in the event of cruelties having been committed, see that proper punishment is inflicted upon those guilty and also upon the responsible officer within whose jurisdiction such cruelties were allowed; (2) who was the officer responsible for the conduct of No 1 Camp, Fovant, Wilts, on 1st and 2nd June; and (3) by what authority B. J. Boxall, F. C. Colman, and W. E. Reynolds, of the 6th (Reserve) Battalion London Rifles, were forcibly inoculated.and vaccinated at No 1 Camp, Fovant, Wilts, on 1st June; and, as this action was in direct contravention of the orders of the 1020 Secretary of State for War, will he say what action he proposes to take with regard to the officer responsible for the forcible inoculation and vaccination of an unwilling recruit?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am not in a position to-day to reply to this question and Nos. 40 and 42, which all have reference to certain alleged occurrences at Fovant, Wilts. Perhaps my hon. Friend will repeat this series of questions next week.
