HC Deb 03 July 1952 vol 503 c60W
77. Mr. Marlowe

asked the Secretary of State for War when a decision may be expected in respect of the application for compassionate release of Private Bartholomew whose case has been brought to his notice.

Mr. Head

My hon. and learned Friend will now have received a letter about this case. A decision could not be given earlier owing to the need for full investigation of the grounds on which the application was made.
