HC Deb 09 May 1918 vol 105 c2306
39. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Minister of National Service if he can state what action he proposes to take in regard to the action of the representative at the Mansfield Woodhouse Tribunal, who, in the hearing of a claim for conscientious objection on 23rd April, asked one applicant why he could not be straightforward and say he was a coward, and asked another applicant if he had a heart as big as a cauliflower or had he a white liver; and whether the Minister of National Ser vice proposes that this person should continue to occupy the position of representative of the Ministry?

Mr. BECK

As I stated in answer to the hon. Member for West Leeds on Monday last, inquiries are being made into this matter.
