§ MR. SOUTTAR (Dumfriesshire)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that much of the recruiting in the provinces is carried on in connection with public-houses, the recruiting sergeant being sometimes even the publican; and whether some other arrangement could be made.
§ * MR. WYNDHAMThere are strict regulations against recruiting in connection with public-houses. If the hon. Member will draw attention to any case in which this rule is seriously violated inquiry will be made.
