HC Deb 21 June 1917 vol 94 c1979W
Mr. WATT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the War Office are at present engaged in drafting men from the Army for agricultural work in Scotland and at the same time calling up men from agriculture to the Army for training; and, if so, will he take steps to ensure the two transactions being combined, to the saving of money and annoyance to the nation?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The remainder of the question therefore does not arise.
