§ Mr. BILLINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he can now give any information concerning the court-martial of officers in connection with the Folkestone and Shorncliffe raid?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have not been able to trace that any court-martials of officers of the Royal Flying Corps were held at Shorncliffe or elsewhere in connection with the Folkestone air raid. The fact appears to be that two officers, not of the Royal Flying Corps, were placed in open arrest and subsequently dealt with by their General for an offence against the Defence of the Realm Regulations by removing portions of bombs dropped from hostile aircraft.
