HC Deb 05 June 1917 vol 94 c44W
Mr. KING

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a conscientious objector, named Durston, whose case has been found genuine by the Central Tribunal, is now in Carnarvon Gaol; and whether he will be allowed the opportunity to do useful work under the Home Office scheme?

Sir G. CAVE

This man has already been given an opportunity of working under the Committee on Employment of Conscientious Objectors, but he failed to carry out the conditions of his release. He was therefore recalled from Army Reserve W to his unit, and is now serving a further sentence imposed by court-martial.
