HC Deb 08 May 1916 vol 82 c280
12. Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Attorney-General why Sir Roger Casement has not been brought to trial for the charge upon which he was arrested; and when the military authorities propose to proceed with the trial?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir G. Cave)

There has been and there will be no avoidable delay in bringing Sir Roger Casement to trial, but my hon. Friend will realise the inconvenience of dealing with the matter at this stage by question and answer.
