§ Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War (1) how many persons have been tried by courts-martial under Sub-section (1) and Sub-section (2), respectively, of Section 9 of the Army Act since the commencement of the War; and (2) how many persons have been tried by courts-martial under Sub-section (1) and Sub-section (2), respectively, of Section 8 of the Army Act since the commencement of the War?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI will answer at the same time No. 10. I am afraid that there are no statistics available, and in any case this information could not be collected without entailing enormous trouble, and even if it were available it would not be in the public interest to disclose it.
