HC Deb 22 January 1918 vol 101 c823W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the Home Secretary what number of the men imprisoned in local prisons as conscientious objectors under sentence by court-martial have been placed in fact under Rule 243a out of those who are qualified to come under Rule 243a?

Sir G. CAVE

Six hundred and sixty prisoners are qualified for the privilege given under Rule 243a. Of these 612 are receiving them—the remaining forty-eight have refused them wholly or in part.
