HC Deb 29 February 1916 vol 80 c870
21. Mr. WILKIE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any men of the Royal Highlanders (Black Watch) or other regiments have been asked to work in the British Aluminium Works at Kinlochleven; if so, will he state the wages paid, and whether any of the men have refused to work there because all they have been offered is 1d. per hour in addition to their military pay?

Mr. TENNANT

Soldiers detailed under military orders receive in addition to their pay the appropriate emolument laid down in Regulations. I am not aware of any men refusing to do the work to which they have been detailed.
