HC Deb 01 December 1920 vol 135 cc1249-50
92. Mr. MYERS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether Bowen-Colthurst, the officer involved in the death of Sheehy Skeffington, is now an officer in the Army of Occupation in Ireland; and, if so, what is his rank?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Captain Bowen-Colthurst is not now serving in the Army.

Mr. MYERS

Has this officer held any post in the Army since the unfortunate incident referred to in the question?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I should like notice. I do not keep a record of every officer.

Mr. DEVLIN

Is he employed in any service by the Government at all?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I could, no doubt, give an answer to that question if I had notice. I do not know.
