§ Mr. MartlewTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on alleged incidents of ill-treatment of Army recruits at Whittington barracks and Sennybridge training camp.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe commanding officer initiated an investigation by the special investigations branch of the Royal Military police as soon as the allegations came to 53W light. Its report has now been submitted to the commanding officer. I would not wish to prejudice the outcome of any disciplinary action which might be taken by commenting further at this stage.
