asked the Secretary of State for War when, and how, instructions were issued requiring notices of forthcoming courts martial to be publicly displayed at or near the headquarters at which they are convened.

Instructions regarding the display of notices of courts martial were issued by signal to all Commands on 23rd June, 1950. An Army Council letter was despatched the same day. The instruction provided for the new procedure to come into force not later than mid-July, and the national and provincial Press were notified on 29th June that it might be mid-July before it was fully implemented. The new arrangements are now in force.
