HC Deb 22 February 1961 vol 635 c53W
53. Mr. Elwyn

Jones asked the Secretary of State for War what facilities are available to the public to enable them to attend courts-martial held in military establishments; and, for that purpose, what system of notification has been adopted to inform members of the public that a court-martial is sitting at a particular place at a particular time.

Mr. Profumo

Military trials are normally held in open court; they may be attended by the Press and the public within the limits of available accommodation. Every military establishment at which a court-martial is convened compiles a weekly list of forthcoming trials, which is posted in a recognised place accessible to the public.
