HC Deb 14 April 1919 vol 114 cc2530-1W
Mr. CAIRNS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Private T. Hubbock, No. 35535, 9th Battalion, Duke of Wellington's Regiment, British Expeditionary Force, France, who is a miner, is still being retained; and, in view of the order that all miners were to be released, will he have inquiries made into this case?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The demobilisation of miners is dependent on whether or not they are eligible under Army Order 55, dated 29th January, 1919.
