HC Deb 13 November 1919 vol 121 c520W
MR. LUNN

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the dissatisfaction which exists amongst troops in India eligible for demobilisation and that men, are being transferred from the 2/5th Somerset Light Infantry to the 2nd Somersets and, instead of being sent home as they expected to be, are now being sent to the North-West Frontier; and what steps he intends to take so that these men, who have not seen their wives and families for years, may be brought home?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am not aware of any dissatisfaction existing at the present time among troops in India. Every effort is being made to expedite their return home.
