§ 59. Mr. Wyattasked the Secretary of State for War why he has decided not to publish the report of the court of inquiry into military conduct in Kenya.
§ Mr. HeadAs I explained before this court of inquiry was set up, and later, following my statement last Tuesday, the proceedings of a military court of inquiry are privileged.
§ 68 and 69. Mr. Swinglerasked the Secretary of State for War (1) what charges have been preferred against Captain Griffiths as a result of disclosures to the court of inquiry into recent incidents in Kenya;
(2) how soon he expects to be able to make a statement on the disciplinary action to be taken as a result of the investigations by the court of inquiry on incidents in Kenya.
§ Mr. HeadCaptain Griffiths is now under arrest. Until the summary of evidence has been completed, I cannot say what charges the Commander-in-Chief, East Africa, may prefer against him. General Erskine has considered action in another case, but, after examining the summary of evidence, he has decided, on legal advice, that no case lies.
