HC Deb 21 April 1921 vol 140 cc2085-6W
Major M. WOOD

asked the Chief Secretary whether he has yet received the report of the court of inquiry which is investigating the circumstances under which a hostage on a police lorry was wounded; whether it is still part of the Government's policy to carry hostages on police or military lorries; and, if so, whether he will order that a record be kept of all occasions on which hostages are thus carried and of the circumstances attending each case?

Mr. HENRY

I have not yet received the report of the official inquiry in the case mentioned in the first part of the question. In regard to the rest of the question, I do not think that I can usefully add anything to the replies which have been given to previous questions on this subject.
