§ Brigadier Thorpasked the Secretary of State for War in view of the time that has elapsed since the trial of prisoner of war Karl Kneissler, when a decision on the finding and sentence of the court martial will be announced.
§ Mr. ShinwellThe reason for the delay in announcing a decision on this case is that the confirming authority desired to have a special psychiatrist's report on Kneissler's mental condition. This report has now been received and the case is under final consideration.
