HC Deb 16 May 1918 vol 106 c539
78. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Under secretary of State for War if he will have inquiry made into the way in which the men of the Machine Gun Corps, No. 1 Reserve Battalion, Belton Park Camp, Grantham, are being treated, having to rise at 5.30 in the morning, and, with the exception of three short intervals for meals, are kept hard at work on physical training, rifle drill, company drill, and so on, until 6.30, and on the second day have to mount guard in the evening until 7 a.m. next morning, when they have to fall in at the usual drills without an interval?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am having inquiries made, and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
