Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Army Council have now considered the statement made by Mr. Justice Humphreys and the jury at the Maidstone Assizes on Friday, 25th June, in connection with the charge made against Quartermaster-Sergeant Salter and Regimental Serjeant-Major Culliney, who were found guilty of manslaughter of Rifleman W. C. Clayton; and what he intends doing about the matter?

Mr. A. Henderson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Dewsbury (Mr. Riley), of which I am sending him a copy.
