HC Deb 11 May 1916 vol 82 c917
70. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he can give an estimate of the number of non-commissioned officers and men engaged as military police; and whether these men can be released for service abroad and replaced by wounded men or National Volunteers?

Mr. TENNANT

The number of non-commissioned officers and men engaged as military police at home is 1,333. Of these a certain number are in training. All men fit for service overseas are being replaced by men fit for Home service only.
