14. Major BARNESasked the Secretary of State for War what is the total number of members of His Majesty's forces now imprisoned on account of disciplinary offences committed prior to the Armistice and subsequent to 4th August, 1914; and if there is any intention to remit the remainder of the sentences for these offences?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am having figures prepared to show the number of men now undergoing imprisonment or detention for military offences committed between the outbreak of war and the Armistice; also the number undergoing sentences of penal servitude for military offences committed during the same period. These will be published as soon as they are compiled. With regard to the last part of the question, I can only refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply on Thursday last to the hon. Member for Montrose.
