HC Deb 24 June 1930 vol 240 c970
55. Major COLVILLE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if, since 1st March, 1930, any further promotions of conscientious objectors have been made in the Civil Service in terms of the Treasury circular of September, 1929, whereby the interests of ex-service men have been affected?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

There has been no change in the position since I last answered a question on this subject on 31st March last.

Major COLVILLE

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that at the recent Conference of the British Legion a resolution was passed condemning the action of the Government in this respect?

Mr. BENSON

rose——

Mr. MUGGERIDGE

Arising out of that question——

Mr. SPEAKER

Nothing can arise out of a supplementary question.
