HC Deb 02 March 1916 vol 80 c1184
96. Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Philip Edward Davey, private in the Royal Engineers, was wrongfully arrested as a deserter; that this lad went to the front at the age of sixteen and is only seventeen at the present time; that Davey, being claimed by his father on account of his age, was granted indefinite leave; and will he say on whose orders the wrongful arrest was made?

Mr. TENNANT

Until I have made inquiry I cannot answer this question. I am making inquiry.
