HC Deb 03 May 1950 vol 474 c1686
47. Mr. Deedes

asked the Minister of Defence whether he will now make a further statement on the Government's future policy in regard to deserters.

Mr. Shinwell

I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Mr. Deedes

Will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that before any statement is made all three Services will be in agreement?

Mr. Shinwell

I could not be certain about that.
