HC Deb 17 June 1920 vol 130 c1478W
Captain FOXCROFT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether Colonel Murray White, competent military authority for the county of Clare, was recently attacked by a disorderly crowd in the streets of Ennis and seriously injured; whether this officer is still in hospital in England as a result of the assault; and whether there is reason to believe that he is permanently incapacitated for further duty?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I regret to say that Colonel Murray White was recently attacked by a disorderly crowd and seriously injured, as stated in the hon. and gallant Member's question. He is not in hospital, but is on sick leave recommended by a medical board. I am informed that there is no reason to believe that Colonel Murray White is permanently incapacitated for further duty.
