asked the Secretary of State for War whether, with regard to the trial of Lieutenant-Colonel H. R. Sandford at Quetta, India, in 1934, by general court-martial, a summary of evidence under the provisions of military law taken by the order of the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Command, India, was completed prior to the accused officer being claimed for trial under military law and while he was still under the protection of the civil court.
