§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War what is the practice with regard to private property looted from houses by the military under pretext of searching; and what amends are to be made to Mrs. Eamon Kent for the gold medal and antique sword belonging to her executed husband taken from their house by the military when searching?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI cannot accept the hon. Member's presentation of the734W facts, and have nothing to add to the replies already given with regard to the missing articles in this case. Looting is a military offence, which, if it occurred, would be dealt with from a disciplinary point of view, and in this connection I would refer the hon. Member to the provisions of Section 6 of the Army Act.
