§ 24. Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Secretary of State for War if he will hold a formal inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Gunner W. J. Gordon.
§ Mr. ProfumoA properly constituted board of inquiry was held to investigate the circumstances in which Gunner Gordon died on 1st April this year, and a full account based on the findings of the inquiry was sent both to Gunner Gordon's mother and to my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. MillsWhile the family very much appreciates the Army's kindness in its help in this case, may I ask my right hon. Friend to let me have a full copy of the court's findings?
§ Mr. ProfumoI think I have sent my hon. Friend as much information as is required. If, however, he gets in touch with me and I can do anything more which is proper to let him know about this distressing incident, I will certainly do so.
