HC Deb 22 November 1916 vol 87 c1434W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will instruct the recruiting officer at Kilmarnock to desist persecuting Robert Climie, the son of the secretary of the Aryshire Trades Council, by repeatedly entering frivolous appeals-before the tribunal, all of which are dismissed, seeing that, as the military representative is a local civilian, it is believed that there is political persecution Behind his conduct?

Mr. FORSTER

Inquiries are being made, but I must not be taken in, the meantime as accepting the allegation contained in the question as correct.
