WITHOUT PRECEDENT
SENSATION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS COMMITTEE ALLEGEDLY MISLED. 'REGARDING THE SUMMONS TO MR D. SANDYS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 9.50 a.m.) LONDON, July 14. There was a sensation in the House of Commons when Lieuten-ant-Colonel A. P. Heneage, who was supported by Mr Winston Churchill, asked the Speaker’s advice in view of information in their possession which was inconsistent with the information on which the recent Committee of Privileges founded its report. Mr Churchill, speaking as a member of the committee, said he was of opinion that the decision was taken on a misleading presentation of facts and that censure appeared to have fallen on innocent persons. The Speaker said the matter was without precedent and promised a ruling on Monday next. It is understood that the basis of the sensation was an allegation that the Military Court was not responsible for the subpoena to Mr Duncan Sandys.
