HC Deb 25 October 1944 vol 404 c173
72. Sir Herbert Williams

asked the Attorney-General whether he intends to prosecute Captain Vivian H. T. Davison, staff officer, sub-district, including West Sussex, for having stated on oath, at Littlehampton Police Court, on 21st August, that mines were sown in the beach at East Preston, since it is now known that no mines were ever sown in this beach.

The Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell)

I am making inquiries and would be grateful if my hon. Friend would put down the Question again next week.

Mr. Bowles

Can the Attorney-General say whether any further proceedings are contemplated against the hon. Member for South Croydon (Sir H. Williams)?

Sir H. Williams

Is the hon. Member aware that this prosecution related to a learned judge, and a number of others, and not to the hon. Member for South Croydon?
