HC Deb 08 November 1916 vol 87 cc188-9
34. Mr. O'GRADY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of Private John Bohringer, No. 9593, Army Service Corps, 20th Labour Company, British Expeditionary Force, France, who is a married man of forty-six years of age, with seven children, and who has had no leave for thirteen months; whether Private Bohringer has been told that he will have no leave unless he consents to be inoculated; and, if so, whether he will bring to the notice of the commanding officer of Private Bohringer's regiment the statement of the late Secretary for War and other officials of the War Office to the effect that no pressure is to be brought to bear on conscientious objectors to vaccination and inoculation?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 19th October to the hon. Member for South West Ham.
