HC Deb 19 February 1920 vol 125 c1075W
Mr. KILEY

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can state the number of soldiers in prison or detention barracks on 1st February, 1920, who are serving sentences for military, not criminal, offences committed during the War?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am having this information prepared.

Mr. KILEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is prepared to consider the advisability of following the example of the Dominions and the Allied nations in releasing soldiers undergoing sentences for military offences committed during the War?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Pontypridd on the 10th December last, to which I have nothing to add.
