HC Deb 09 July 1918 vol 108 c154
49. Mr. ALDEN

asked whether some-think like 300,000 Americans are being brought over to England and France every month; and, if so, why is it necessary during these next few months to take 30,000 out of agriculture, where they are so urgently required?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I can add nothing to what was said in Debate on Monday, the 1st of July, on this subject.

Mr. ALDEN

Was it not known at that time that we were getting 300,000 Americans a month?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I could not say.
