HC Deb 22 June 1917 vol 94 c2126W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he will inquire into the conditions of labour at the docks in Dunkirk, where there are complaints from the men of the Labour battalions about their incessant work, having practically no rest, and also complaints about the insufficiency of the food?

Mr. MACPHERSON:

I am afraid lean-not answer this without reference to the local military authorities. A report has been called for, and on its receipt I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
