§ Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has any information about John Greenwood, who was arrested as an absentee on 8th May and sent to Shoreham on 9th May; whether he was given a medical certificate as fit for Home service only when he was at Houns- 1996W low Barracks; if so, why he is now being warned that he will shortly be sent to France; and whether the decision to send this man to France has been taken because his refusals to obey orders can be thus speedily and finally disposed of?
§ Mr. TENNANTI have not been specially informed that any offence has been committed by this soldier. My hon. Friend will be safe in rejecting the suggestion contained in the last part of the question.
