HC Deb 11 November 1941 vol 374 cc2047-8W
Mr. Sexton

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of soldiers stationed at Catterick camp who have been employed as beaters to shooters at or near Gainsford, county Durham, during October, 1941; how they were conveyed; who employed them; and what was the daily rate of pay per man?

Captain Margesson

I am having inquiries made into this case and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible. I may add that instructions were issued on 25th October forbidding the employment of soldiers for this purpose, and no further cases should therefore arise.
