HC Deb 06 April 1909 vol 3 c1130W
Mr. LUPTON

asked the Secretary of State for War if clause 4, sub-section (b) and proviso (b) of the same clause of the Army (Annual) Bill is intended to have a retrospective effect in defending the Army Council against actions already brought against them; and, if so, will he introduce an Amendment to confine its effect to future actions?

Mr. HALDANE

The reply is in the negative.
