HC Deb 29 November 1917 vol 99 c2243W
Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the hon. Member for East Glamorgan has submitted to the competent military authority the evidence upon which he bases his charge that dishonourable money from enemy sources has been freely distributed in the South Wales coal-field, and that men previously earning £3 a week have been treating their workmates to the extent of from £15 to £40 a week; and whether it is intended to hold official inquiry and issue a Report, or what action it is proposed to take?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I understand that my hon. and learned Friend the Member for East Glamorgan has very kindly given the proper military authorities certain useful information, though not directly concerning the amounts earned and spent. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
