HC Deb 30 April 1940 vol 360 cc558-9W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Labour who authorised the procedure under which Leslie Winn, who registered as a conscientious objector at Westminster Employment Exchange in April, was taken into a separate room and, while being asked the usual questions, was photographed?

Mr. E. Brown

Mr. Winn was not taken to a separate room. He attended in the usual way in the room provided for the registration of conscientious objectors. While there he was photographed without his permission. This was entirely irregular and unauthorised, and steps have been take to have the photographic negative destroyed.
