HC Deb 27 March 1917 vol 92 cc184-5
7. Sir H. ROBERTS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that a number of men in Class C I have recently been sent overseas; whether there is any official sanction for such action; and whether he can make a statement as to the position of the men who have been sent to France under these circumstances?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement I made in a Debate in the House on the 21st instant; these men are used for duty with Infantry labour companies.
