HC Deb 15 March 1917 vol 91 cc1308-9W
Mr. BROOKES

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can inform the House what steps are being taken in parts of the British Empire, other than the self-governing Colonies, to utilise the available British man-power?

Mr. LONG

My hon. Friend will no doubt recognise that it would not be desirable to make public full particulars of the steps which are being taken to utilise the available man-power of the Colonial Possessions other than the self-governing Dominions. But for general information upon this point I would invite his attention to the answer which I gave on the 19th February to a question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for the Melton Division.
