§ 19. Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Secretary of State for War whether the sentence of death promulgated by an Allied military court on Karl Punzler, of Monschau, 16 years of age, has been carried out; and, if not, what is the alternative sentence imposed upon him.
§ Sir J. GriggThis man was tried by an American court but I understand that the death sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life.
§ Mr. DaviesDoes the right hon. Gentleman consider a person of 16 a man?
§ Sir J. GriggIt is not a matter for me, but for the Supreme Commander. I am merely giving the hon. Member information.
