26. Mr. TREVELYAN THOMSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether, subsequent to the War, any evidence has come into the possession of the War Office, or to the knowledge of the Cabinet, showing the Kadaver story to be false?
§ Captain KINGI have nothing to add to the information which my right hon. Friend gave on the 24th November in replying to questions on this subject by the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull (Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy).
Captain BENNDoes not the hon. and gallant Gentleman think that on this day of all days it would be more generous to say frankly that there is nothing in the story?
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYHave the War Office considered the necessity of making some further inquiries into this matter and clearing it up one way or the other; and is ft not due to a people with whom we are now mating friends, to acquit them of this charge if it is unfounded?
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWith great respect, may I raise a point of Order? I put a similar question last week, and I was not able to get certain information in spite of a great deal of pressing. I have now asked what I think 2025 you, Sir, will admit to be a perfectly proper question, and surely we should be given the assurance that the matter will be taken into consideration.
Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERThe hon. and gallant Member, if he puts a question on the Paper, is entitled to an answer. No hon. Member is entitled to an answer to a supplementary question.
Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERThe hon. Member fails to distinguish between an answer and a satisfactory answer.
