HC Deb 15 March 1916 vol 80 c2072
32. Mr. EUGENE WASON

asked what offences has a subaltern to commit before an officer commanding places him under open arrest; and is it usual to keep him under arrest forty-eight hours without letting him know what he is under arrest for?

Mr. TENNANT

I will refer my hem. Friend to paragraph 469 of the King's Regulations for statement of the circumstances under which an officer may be placed under arrest. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
