HC Deb 03 June 1918 vol 106 cc1211-2
42. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Under secretary of State for War if he will have inquiry made into the treatment accorded to the men of No. 4 Southern Company, Non-Combatant Corps, Chiseldon Camp, Swindon, who are subjected to all kinds of persecution at the hands of the officer commanding, who stops their leave, in violation of Headquarters' instructions, and gives the men fourteen days' C.B. for inadvertently omitting to remove numerals from fatigue tunics to walking-out tunics, and who, contrary to the practice of other units at this camp, furnishes no minor offences report to Headquarters?

Mr. MACPHERSON

If the facts are as stated by my lion. Friend, the men concerned should exercise their rights under Section 43 of the Army Act and: paragraph 439 of the King's Regulations.
