HC Deb 26 March 1919 vol 114 cc398-9
42. Mr. GWYNNE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether certain troops in Ireland are being employed in building huts and block-houses; whether these buildings are shortly afterwards demolished by other troops; and, if this is the case, will he stop such waste of labour and material?

Captain GUEST

I am not aware that there is any foundation for this suggestion, but a report on the matter has been called for.

Mr. GWYNNE

If I send the hon. Gentleman particulars of a case, will he have it inquired into?

Captain GUEST

Most certainly!
