§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will have inquiry made into the case of Private H. Wade, No 64461, 14th Battalion Royal Defence Corps, who has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment by court-martial for refusing to obey the order of his superior officer, under the circum stances that at the time this offence was committed Wade was suffering from a crippled arm, which rendered it impossible for him to do the work he was ordered to perform, and he had been refused' permission to see the medical officer, and had no other course open to him but to refuse to obey orders to get attention to his complaint; and, seeing that this man has been on active service for a considerable time, and has been twice wounded, whether a remission of his sentence will be made?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONInquiries are being made, and my hon. Friend will be informed of the result.
