§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."
§ The SECRETARY of STATE, for WAR (Mr. Duff Cooper)This Clause effects a formal Amendment in order to remove a technical difficulty. It provides that an officer, who is not a member of the Army, but is a member of the Air Force or the Navy, in supreme command will have the right to commute or remit a sentence of a court-martial which has been confirmed by a senior officer.
