HC Deb 28 March 1917 vol 92 c406
27. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Under- Secretary of State for War if two brothers named Baldwin are now confined in the guardroom, 9th Eastern Company, Non- Combatant Corps, M Lines, Morn Hill, Winchester, awaiting court-martial; if these men have been brought from Win chester Prison after serving two and a half months of a nine months' sentence; if they have been released because the court-martial which sentenced them has been found to be irregular; and, seeing that these men have been illegally kept in prison for over two months, what action is the War Office going to take to compensate them?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Further inquiries are being made in this case, and I will inform the hon. Member of the result.
