HC Deb 22 June 1917 vol 94 cc2125-6W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he will inquire into the treatment accorded to Archibald Cross, of the 13th Loyal North Lancashires, now in the guard-room at Woodham Mortimer Camp, A.P.O., near Maldon, Essex, who has been tried by court-martial though he has never been properly taken into the Army, having on medical examination been twice rejected and on each occasion being put into hospital for a few days?

Mr. MACPHERSON:

I am not clear whether my hon. Friend intends to suggest that this man has been ill-treated, but if he does so suggest and will give me particulars, I shall be happy to make inquiry. I have called for an early report on the statements made in the last part of the question.
