§ 112. Mr. Dribergasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is aware that two airmen, whose identities have been communicated to him, were held under close arrest for 57 days in Germany, while awaiting courts-martial; that at their courts-martial they pleaded guilty to drunkenness, whereupon other charges were not pressed; that after conviction they were still detained to await the promulgation of their sentences in cells which 153W had been pronounced unfit for occupation by Germans under arrest; and if he will see that relatively trivial offences are dealt with more expeditiously and humanely.
§ Mr. Strachey:I am aware of this case but inquiries have not yet been completed into all the points which my hon. Friend has raised. If, however, he would like to put down a Question next week I hope to be able to make a statement then.
