§ 60. Mr. Scott-Hopkinsasked the Secretary of State for Defence by what authority he has issued instructions to the Army Council that any officer convicted by the civil authority following a breathalyser test is to be court-martialled, and, if found guilty, dismissed the service.
§ Mr. BoydenNo such instruction, which would be unlawful, has been issued. But the case of an officer convicted in such circumstances by a civil court is reported to the Army Board, who consider whether any administrative action is necessary.
