§ Mr. Doddsasked the Secretary of State for War when the hon. Member for Dartford can expect a reply to his letters dated 2nd December, 1945, 7th January, 1946 and 27th January, 1946, regarding 3909437 Fusilier E. Caffrey, of Dartford.
§ Mr. LawsonI very much regret the delay in replying to my hon. Friend's letters, but it has been necessary to obtain advice on the medical and legal aspects of this case which has inevitably taken some time. This advice has now been received and is being considered in conjunction with the court-martial proceedings. I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as a decision has been reached.
