I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply of to-day to the hon. and gallant Member for Portsmouth South (Sir J. Lucas).

Mr. Martin

asked the Secretary of State for War the number, nationality and sex of civilians, shooting at Allied soldiers or otherwise taking hostile action against them during the recent operations.
