§ 30. Mr. Cecil Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for War how many men 592 claiming to be conscientious objectors are in detention and/or imprisonment in military prisons; and how many are in these prisons because there is not room for them in civil prisons?
§ Mr. EdenThe answer to the first part of the Question is "seven." None of these men is in the category which it has been arranged to send to a civil prison. In view of the small numbers involved, I am reconsidering this matter and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
