HC Deb 07 March 1917 vol 91 cc373-4
34. Mr. HANSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he can state the number of soldiers who during the months of January and February last have been brought before the Metropolitan magistrates charged with being absentees without leave?

Mr. MACPHERSON

This is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary, by whom inquiries are being made. He will doubtless inform my hon. Friend of the result in due course.
