HC Deb 08 May 1918 vol 105 c2162
24. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Undersecretary of State for War what action it is intended to take in regard to the conduct of E. O. Cole, officer commanding D Company, Bristol Volunteer Reserve, who, on 9th February, wrote to Captain Peake, medical examiner to the 2nd Battalion, Bristol Volunteer Reserve, saying that he enclosed particulars of men for examination, and he would be much obliged if Captain Peake would give special attention to J. Rooke, as some of the tribunal are anxious that he should not escape their order, as he has an evil influence and has been exercising it against the tribunal?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have no knowledge of the facts alleged by my hon. Friend in his question, but I am having inquiry made, and will communicate with him as soon as possible.

Mr. SNOWDEN

Would the hon. Gentleman like to see the photograph letter?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Certainly!
