(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that his action in instituting disciplinary proceedings against an officer, whose name has been communicated to him, solely on the basis of a letter from this officer forwarded by the hon. Member for Maldon is a breach of the customary privilege attaching to communications between M.Ps. and their constituents, and to representations, made by hon. Members on their constituents behalf, and if he will forthwith cancel any proceedings which may have been instituted against this officer.
