HC Deb 22 July 1918 vol 108 cc1467-8W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will have immediate inquiry made into the treatment of the recruits at a training camp where full training has to be completed in fourteen weeks, and in consequence the men are subjected to sustained and strenuous work for which they are not physically fit; will he inquire also into the allegations that the food supply is altogether inadequate, and in consequence the men have to spend their pay at the Army canteen; and will he inquire further into the allegations of bullying methods?

Mr. MACPHERSON

As a result of inquiries which have been made I can find no foundation for the allegations made in this question.
