HC Deb 22 November 1948 vol 458 cc85-6W
21. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that heavy sentences have been imposed by Control Commission courts on men in the British zone in Germany for minor offences such as neglecting to inform the police that a person who had befriended him was in possession of a revolver; and if he will review such sentences, with a view to reductions or remissions of the unexpired part.

Mr. Mayhew

No. I am not aware that this is so, but if my hon. Friend will send me full details of any case he may have in mind, I will certainly make inquiries.
