HC Deb 03 December 1919 vol 122 c385
36. Mr. NEIL MACLEAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the reasons for the removal in 1918, before the Armistice, of Lieutenant-Colonel G. S. Haines from the active list?

Captain GUEST (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)

I do not think it is desirable, as a general rule, to state, in answers to questions, the reasons for the removal of officers from the active list, and I see no reason to make an exception in this case.
