§ Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the case of Geoffrey Lees, now a prisoner in Horfield civil prison; whether his conduct in prison is good; whether his health is good; when he will be due for release from prison; and whether this conscientious objector will then be handed over to the military authorities, or whether any other course is intended in respect of him?

Mr. H. SAMUELI find on inquiry that this prisoner's health and conduct are good, and his sentence having been reduced to six months by the military authorities, he will in ordinary course be due for release about the beginning of November. Before that time the case will no doubt be further considered by the military authorities.
