HC Deb 05 March 1931 vol 249 c617W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will review the ease of an ex-leading cook in the Royal Navy who was convicted of stealing a pound of butter and was deprived of his good-conduct medal and two badges; and whether, seeing that the punishment involves a loss to the man in his invaliding pension of £6 a year for the rest of his life, he can see his way to mitigate this sentence?

Mr. AMMON

I regret that the Board of Admiralty are not prepared to reduce the sentence in this case.
