§ 37. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a number of men ranking as sappers in the Royal Engineers are employed at Mount Pleasant on Post Office work; whether he is aware that, when a purely trade union meeting, having no political or military importance, was arranged by the Postal and Telegraph Clerks' Association at the Holborn Hall, Major Wheeler, the officer commanding, issued a statement that the Holborn Hall was out of bounds on the night in question, and that any man attending would be liable to military arrest; and if he can state the ground on which such action was taken?
§ Mr. FORSTERI have not full information on this matter, but I understand that a meeting was held for the express purpose of commenting on the status of noncommissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers in the Postal Service. Further inquiry is being made
