Colonel ASHLEY

asked whether any decision has been arrived at in the case of Private Matthew Watt, King's Own. Scottish Borderers, a thrice-wounded man, with five serving brothers, who is being kept at home pending an inquiry into the circumstances of his case?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My right hon. Friend the Member for Dumfries Burghs has also written to me on more than one occasion about this case. I regret that in present circumstances I can give no undertaking that Private Watt will be retained on home service.
