HC Deb 04 March 1941 vol 369 c786W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the provisions of Army Council Instruction 16/General/8710, paragraph 28, relating to recoveries from soldiers of amounts due in respect of barrack damages being inappropriate in the case of training units, owing to the rapid change of personnel, he will relieve officers commanding such units of the obligation to impose a general charge against the men of the unit for barrack damages which cannot be traced to individuals?

Captain Margesson

I am looking into this question, and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
