HC Deb 05 June 1919 vol 116 cc2204-5
58. Mr. LYLE

asked the Prime Minister 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 lands; when he anticipates that legal proceedings will be initiated; and whether he can give the constitution of the Court?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I regret that I am unable to answer any of the questions asked by the hon. Member.

Mr. LYLE

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us any reasons for saying he cannot give any information on this point at all? Similar questions have been put down before.

Mr. BONAR LAW

Similar questions, as my hon. Friend says, have been put down before, and I have given reasons, but I cannot repeat them on every occasion.
