HC Deb 01 August 1918 vol 109 c637W
Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether orders have been issued by officers commanding, when giving out registration claims to soldiers, that soldiers were not to enter into any political discussion; whether such orders will hold good in case of a dissolution of Parliament; and, if so, how citizen soldiers are to be expected to use their voting privilege to the best purpose if they are to be debarred from political discussion?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No such Instructions have been issued by the War Office, and I have no information that any commanding officers have issued any such orders.
