HC Deb 11 July 1940 vol 362 c1358W
Sir A. Knox

asked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been drawn to the case of two men recently convicted at Manchester Assizes of trying to cause disaffection among soldiers and of the remarks of the judge that the sentences he was able to pass under the existing law, two years' imprisonment, were inadequate; and what steps he proposes to take?

The Attorney-General

My attention has been drawn to this case, and the point raised by my hon. and gallant Friend is being considered.
