HC Deb 03 June 1919 vol 116 cc1803-4
25. Mr. HURD

asked the Secretary for War whether he is aware that Members of Parliament are being informed by soldiers in the Army of Occupation that mechanical transport men in the Royal Army Service Corps are not being demobilised fairly according to length of service; that men are being retained solely because their unit is in general headquarters troops, and that men from other mechanical transport units are being demobilised with less service than men in such general headquarters units; and what steps he proposes to take?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have no knowledge of this, but inquiries are being made and I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
