§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Secretary of State for War if James Jackson, a conscientious objector now confined in Calton Gaol, Edinburgh, has had his ease considered by the Central Tribunal, and, if so, with what result; and, if he has been adjudged a genuine conscientious objector, why he has not been released from prison for work under the Home Office scheme?
Mr. SAMUELMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The case of James Jackson was reviewed by the Central Tribunal who found him to be a genuine conscientious objector, and he was released from prison and sent to work of national importance under the committee on the employment of conscientious objectors on 9th November last.
