HC Deb 29 July 1919 vol 118 c1925
50. Mr. LYLE

asked the Prime Minister weather, since there is no possibility of their evasion, he can now state how many persons against whom it is intended to institute criminal proceedings for acts alleged to be in violation of the rules of civilised warfare are now in Entente hands, and when he anticipates that legal proceedings will be initiated?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I can add nothing to what the Prime Minister stated in Debate on 21st July on this subject.

Mr. LYLE

What is the objection to giving the numbers of the people?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I do not think there is any advantage in giving them at this stage.
