Part of Oral Answers to Questions — British Army – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 17 December 1958.
Does the right hon. Gentleman think it is perhaps a little unfortunate that he has applied a standard of conduct related to the number of convictions? Should there not be a much better standard here? In the view of senior officers of all branches of the Army some of these things have gone on in London far too long. Has he consulted the Commissioner of Police about the behaviour of troops in certain notorious spots in London which I would mention to him privately? Is not this a matter which needs to be kept constantly under review?
