§ 1. Mr. Osborneasked the Secretary of State for War if he will take the necessary steps to secure that notification is given by the competent Army authorities to the Press of the time and place of pending courts-martial.
§ The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Strachey)Arrangements have been made for notice of forthcoming Army courts-martial to be posted at, or near, the headquarters at which they are convened.
§ Mr. OsborneWhy were not these arrangements made previously by the Army authorities, since they have been made by the two other Services?
§ Mr. StracheyI should have to have notice of that question as it goes into the past, but I quite agree that they should be made now.
§ Mr. DribergDoes my right hon. Friend's answer indicate a definite change 1114 of policy in this matter, since there has been a good deal of doubt and even distortion about it?
§ Mr. StracheyIt means a change of procedure, at any rate.
