HC Deb 01 November 1916 vol 86 c1740W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Secretary of State for War if members of the Non-Combatant Corps are employed in the loading and unloading of rifles and ammunition at Portsmouth; if so, whether this work is regarded as falling within the- work to which this class would be assigned; and, if so, will he have this altered, as the men refuse to handle rifles and ammunition?

Mr. FORSTER

No members of the Non-Combatant Corps are employed in the loading or unloading of rifles and ammunition at Portsmouth.
