Colonel FABERasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the possibility of using the men who are in various prisons for military offences to do 2170W useful work, such as road-making and other work, at the front with the object of releasing men for the firing line or the services connected with it?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThere are no military prisons in this country. Soldiers in detention barracks are actively training for service at the front, and as soon as sufficiently trained are immediately drafted abroad. The remainder of my hon. and gallant Friend's question does not, therefore, arise.
