§ 60. Mr. SNOWDENasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will have further inquiry made into the case of Gordon Barnes, Tallentire, Cockermouth, who, while suffering from an injured foot and unable to wear a boot, was taken by the military authorities and placed in the hospital at Carlisle; and if he can secure this man's release, at least temporarily, so that he can supervise the work on his farm which, though unfit for military service, he is able to do?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have already been in communication with my hon. Friend about this case. In accordance with his wish, I am having further inquiries made. When I receive a reply I will communicate with my hon. Friend.
