§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any change has been made in the command of the Labour Battalions on the Western Front; whether the general who has been so successful has been given another post; and, if so, why this was done and who is now in charge of the labour work in France?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI understand that the facts are as stated by my hon. Friend60W as regards the command of these battalions, but that the reorganisation has been carried out in the interests of efficiency of labour. The brigadier-general lately in charge, who was no longer required under the new scheme, has been appointed Controller of Salvage.
