Moore, who claimed to be a conscientious objector and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment at Brighton on 27th January, 1945, for refusing medical examination; and whether it was by the instructions of his Ministry that the prosecutor at the hearing resisted the defendant's request to the justices to impose a sentence which would have enabled the defendant to have his case considered by the appellate tribunal under Section 5 of the National Service (No. 2) Act, 1941.
§ Mr. BevinYes, Sir, I am aware of the case of Mr. R. D. Morse, whose name has been misquoted as Moore. The answer to the second part of the Question is in the negative.
