HC Deb 21 December 1954 vol 535 c254W
66. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for War if, in view of the fact that threats of violence have been used to secure information from Mau Mau suspects, he will state what the regulations are governing the conduct of members of the Forces in this matter.

Mr. F. Maclean

Threats of violence by members of the Forces are not countenanced, and I know that General Erskine would take any necessary action if such a case occurred.
