§ 72. Mr. Levyasked the Minister of Labour whether he will take steps to provide that all conscientious objectors shall be treated as enlisted men in regard to pay and allowances in whatever work of national importance they may be required to do; and whether he is aware of the discontent in many quarters over the favourable position of these men in regard to pay, etc., compared with the serving soldier?
§ Mr. AsshetonMy right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to add to the statements on this subject which he has previously made, and of which I am sending the hon. Member copies.
§ Mr. LevyIs my hon. Friend aware that there is widespread discontent all 1130 over the country with regard to this, and is it not time some action was taken to alleviate this discontent?
§ Mr. AsshetonI think that if the hon. Member will study the answer given on 18th July, he will be satisfied.
