§ 40. Mr. ROYCEasked the Secretary for War whether a large number of men recently called up from the land to rejoin the Army are smallholders and consequently had no employer to appeal for their retention nor opportunity to be included among the 20 per cent. left upon the land; whether a large number of this class at Belmont camp, Sutton, Surrey, have been practically doing nothing for the past month; and whether he will make inquiries with a view of allowing these men to return to their holdings where they are so urgently needed?
§ Colonel ASHLEYCan the right hon. Gentleman say what these men are doing in a camp in England? Were they not called up on the plea that they were urgently needed for service overseas?
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYIs it in order for a question to appear on the Paper as a starred question after only one day's notice?
