HC Deb 04 November 1919 vol 120 cc1325-6W
Mr. LUNN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state the number of men of all ranks now serving sentences of more than three months' duration for naval offences?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The number of men of all ranks or ratings serving, at the end

of October, 1919, sentences of over three months' duration awarded by Naval Courts-martial for disciplinary offences is at the most 55; but the number may be slightly smaller than this owing to suspensions of sentence and the remission of time earned by good conduct while in prison.
