HC Deb 14 November 1962 vol 667 cc41-2W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give the composition of the Board of Inquiry into the death of Gunner W. J. Gordon, the dates on which the Board met, and the names of the witnesses called to give evidence.

Mr. Profumo

The Board of Inquiry was composed of a major as president, with a captain and second lieutenant as members. They met on 9th April, 1962, and 17th May, 1962. Eight witnesses were called to give evidence, all of whom were military personnel and five of whom were eye witnesses. I regret that I cannot make their names available.
