§ Mr. WARDLE(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for War under whose authority soldiers are being loaned to the Llanelly Steel Company for civilian work at military rates of pay and under military control; under what let of Parliament this has been san tioned, and whether this is not a breach of the arrangement which has been observed in all previous cases whereby men so lent have been paid full civilian wages and been entirely under civilian control during the time they have been so working?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI only received my hon. Friend's notice just a few minutes ago. My attention was only called to this matter by something which appeared in the papers this morning. I am having it thoroughly investigated and will let him know in the course of the day.
