§ 68. Mr. Naylorasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to state the result of his inquiries into the conditions prevailing at the Auxiliary Military Pioneers' camp at Nits-hill, Glasgow?
§ Sir E. GriggYes, Sir. Full inquiries have been made and show that, in spite of initial difficulties, the unit has succeeded in making a very satisfactory camp. No complaints have come to notice; food, health and discipline are good; and, as regards the reference in my hon. Friend's previous Question to insulting censures on the men by a major, whose name he subsequently gave me, no officer of that name has been at the camp, nor can any trace of such an incident be discovered. The Lord Provost of Glasgow has paid a surprise visit to the camp, and is reported to have pronounced it to be one of the best camps in Scotland.
§ Mr. NaylorCan the hon. Gentleman say whether the inquiries extended to the rank and file of the regiment as well as to the officers responsible for the administration?
§ Sir E. GriggOf course, Sir.
