HC Deb 28 November 1917 vol 99 c1996
40. Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether Private Alan G. McDougall, No. 6,634, 3rd Reserve London Regiment, is now at Blackdown Camp awaiting court-martial; whether he is aware that Private McDougall has already been sentenced three times by courts-martial as a conscientious objector; whether, in view of the statement of the Secretary of State for War against successive punishments, the same treatment will be given to Private McDougall as to Private Scott Duckers; and whether he will be set at liberty?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Inquiries are being made in this case, and I will let my hon. Friend know the result.
