HC Deb 05 December 1922 vol 159 cc1556-7W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Home Secretary whether he will reconsider the sentence of nine months, passed on Stanley Ernest Dallas at Lambeth in July last, for an alleged seditious speech uttered at an unemployed demonstration on 22nd June; and whether, in view of Dallas's services in the Army, consideration as to a reduction of sentence can be given?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have looked into the facts of this case and regret I cannot see my way to recommend any reduction of the sentence.
