§ 1. Dr. A. Thompsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has now reached a decision in the case of Signalman William Mitchell, 52a, Main Street, Kingseat, Dunfermline, Fife.
§ The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Christopher Soames)Yes, Sir. As the hon. Member knows, Signalman Mitchell has been discharged from the Army.
§ Dr. ThompsonI thank the Minister for his most helpful attitude in this case, but I was a little disturbed by the terms of his letter of 29th April in which he said that Signalman Mitchell is liable to recall. May I have an assurance that his discharge is absolute and that there will be no cat-and-mouse game played with him in this matter?
§ Mr. SoamesI should like to write to the hon. Gentleman about that. It would depend on the circumstances. But I note what the hon. Gentleman says and I will write to him.
