HC Deb 29 February 1916 vol 80 c906W
Mr. C. DUNCAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the services rendered by Major Sir Francis Vane in connection with recruiting and the training of soldiers during the present War, and in view also of the feeling that exists that Sir Francis Vane has been unfairly dealt with, he will have an impartial investigation made into the case and the reasons why Sir Francis Vane should not be allowed to continue his work?

Mr. TENNANT

The case of Sir Francis Vane has already been carefully, and fully investigated. The Army Council cannot undertake any further inquiry into the matter.
