§ 7. Mr. W. THORNEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the soldiers who are medically fit for active service classified as C 2 and C 3 are working seven days per week on hay baling in Cornwall, with only half an hour allowed for dinner, including Sunday; and if he will consider the question of giving the men in question one day's rest in seven?
§ Mr. FORSTERNo, Sir; I am not aware that soldiers are working, as alleged, seven days a week on hay baling, and I fear that weather conditions would not ordinarily permit of it. If the hon. Member will furnish me with more precise details, I will have the matter inquired into.
