HC Deb 19 December 1955 vol 547 cc238-9W
47. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when it is expected that the judicial inquiry into the murder of Mr. Goodman, a British seaman, by a Spanish prison guard will be completed.

Mr. Turton

The court-martial at Santander which on 18th November tried the sentry who killed Mr. Goodman referred its findings to a higher authority. Since then the matter has been before the Supreme Council of Military Justice in Madrid, which has ordered a further investigation and court-martial to take place in Madrid.
