HC Deb 13 May 1919 vol 115 c1464W
Lieutenant-Colonel SPENDER CLAY

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state how many officers or other ranks have been tried by courts-martial for contravention of paragraphs 453 and 454, King's Regulations (Communication to the Press), during the years 1914–18; and whether it is the intention of the Army Council to withdraw paragraphs 453 and 454, King's Regulations, in view of its contravention by senior officers on the active list?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the statement which I made yesterday in answer to questions on this subject.
