HC Deb 27 November 1916 vol 88 c25
40. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that men of the Royal West Kent labour battalion working at Erith have been billeted on the householders of Erith, Slades Green, etc.; is he aware that the payments for the billets have been irregular, in some cases a period of three weeks having elapsed; and, as these are mostly working-class people who occupy the houses, will he see that they receive their money regularly every week?

Mr. FORSTER

Inquiries are being made into this case, and I will let my hon. Friend know the result.
