HC Deb 27 October 1954 vol 531 c279W
105. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for War on what dates the General Officer Commanding in Kenya notified him of proposed courts-martial from time to time in that Colony; and on what dates his assent was given.

Mr. F. Maclean

The convening of a court-martial is a matter for decision by the appropriate convening officer. Although my right hon. Friend's assent is not needed, he is, of course, aware of all major trials by court-martial that are to be held.
