HC Deb 10 July 1917 vol 95 c1714
17. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the War Office now intend to remove from work on the land men be longing to the Non-Combatant Corps; whether such men are no longer allowed to work on the land; and, if so, as the need for labour on the land is greater at the present time than earlier in the year, whether he will take steps to renew the permission to such men to do farm work?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Any man of the Non-Combatant Corps who has been accustomed to work on the land will, as far as possible, be used for farm work.
