§ 89. Mr. L. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what circumstances and on whose authority foreign troops stationed in this country are entitled to discharge firearms outside the bounds of their station or camp in apprehending another member of the same forces.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeThe law in regard to the discharge of firearms is the same for members of visiting forces outside their camps or stations as it is for anyone else in this country, and when a person has committed, or is attempting to commit, a felony all proper methods may be used in order to apprehend that person. In Green's case, to which I assume my hon. Friend is referring, Green was using 51W a rifle and in the circumstances the use of firearms by those seeking to capture him would no doubt be regarded as justified.
