HC Deb 13 June 1921 vol 143 c73W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Home Secretary upon what grounds Mr. G. W. Frengley was convicted on 20th May at Portsmouth; and if he is aware that this man did excellent work of a very highly-skilled nature during the late. War and is not connected with any political organisation?

Mr. SHORTT

Frengley was convicted of unlawfully attempting to cause disaffection among His Majesty's naval and military forces. I have no information as to his previous employment or connections, political or otherwise. They would have no bearing on the conviction.
