HC Deb 03 April 1951 vol 486 c18
30. Mr. Bellenger

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will place in the Library of the House a copy of the court-martial proceedings concerning Driver Fargie.

35. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will now make a statement about the case of Private Fargie.

Mr. Strachey

A copy of the proceedings of the court-martial in this case has now arrived in this country. As soon as I have had an opportunity to examine it, I will have a copy placed in the Library of the House and I will consider making a statement.

Mr. Sydney Silverman

When my right hon. Friend places the copy of the proceedings in the Library, will he also place with it a copy of the Commander-in-Chief's reasons for interfering with the court-martial sentence?

Mr. Strachey

That is another question.

Mr. Silverman

Will my right hon. Friend consider that?

Mr. Strachey

I should like to have notice of that question.
