HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 c1650
108. General COLVIN

asked the Under--Secretary of State for War whether,. having regard to the number of robberies,. with and without violence, perpetrated on soldiers on furlough in London, steps will be taken to warn them on their arrival: from overseas of the danger that awaits them from evilly-disposed persons of both sexes?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am making some inquiries, but must not be taken as admitting that the cases are by any means as frequent and serious as my hon. and gallant Friend suggests.
