§ 33. Mr. LANSBURYasked the Secretary of State for War whether any inquiry has been, or will be, held into new charges and allegations against the Secretary of State and senior officers of the Army, contained in a pamphlet recently published by Lieut. C. H. Glendinning?
§ Captain KINGNo, Sir. The case of this officer has already been the subject of the fullest investigation and there is nothing new in the pamphlet referred to which would warrant the re-opening of this case.
§ Mr. LANSBURYHas this man had any opportunity of appearing before any committee which has investigated the case?
§ Captain KINGI require notice of that particular question. The matter was very fully investigated by the right hon. Gentleman who was Secretary of State for War in the Socialist Government.
§ Mr. LANSBURYIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that this man s grievous complaint is that. he himself and his witnesses have never been heard? Is it not time, in view of the man's continual propaganda on his own behalf, and the statements that he is making, to give him that opportunity?
§ Captain KINGI have already replied that the question has been very thoroughly considered in the past, and we see no reason for re-opening it.
