HC Deb 01 November 1939 vol 352 c1960W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that at least one member of a French court-martial is of the same rank as the accused; and whether he will introduce a similar arrangement in the British Army?

Sir V. Warrender

I see no reason to make the change suggested. The existing system has stood the test of experience for many years both in peace and war.
