HC Deb 15 February 1949 vol 461 c937
35. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he proposes to put into effect all the recommendations of the Army and Air Force Courts Martial Committee.

The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Shinwell)

As stated in the prefatory note to the Committee's Report, some of their recommendations have been put into effect, and some others are in process of adoption; His Majesty's Government have not yet reached a decision upon other recommendations.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Can my right hon. Friend say whether he has yet put into effect those recommendations which do not require legislation but are designed to cut down the delay before the trial?

Mr. Shinwell

Yes, Sir; some of these have already been put into effect.
