Speaker's Ruling On New Privilege Issue Raised
London, To-day...
A crowded House of Commons heard the Speaker when he gave a ruling on the new Breach of pri- vilege issue raised by Colonel Heneage last week and said that the new information now was that individual members of the Military Court of Inquiry knew nothing of the summon- ing of Mr. Duncan Sandys to appear before them and they had not any say whatever in summoning witnesses to attend court. The Speaker added that the new evidence had satis- fied him that officers of the Military Court of Inquiry must be assured that they were entire- ly dissociated from any responsibility for the breach of privilege.
The essence of the breach of privilege was the summoning of a Member of Parliament before a Military Court and whether he was Bummoned by the officers compos- ing the Court or by the officers making the preliminary arrange- ments, was immaterial from the standpoint of privilege.
It was for the House to decide what action, if any, should be taken of his disclosure of the new facts.
The Speaker said that his advice would be to allow the matter to rest where it was.
FINDING UNAFFECTED The finding of the Committee of Privileges and the decision of the House remained substantially un- affected, said the Speaker. They had found that a breach of pri- vilege was, in fact, committed without making any reflection on anybody.Reuter.
