HC Deb 16 April 1919 vol 114 cc2916-7W
Mr. ALFRED SHORT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists among the mili- tary force police now performing town police duty at Cologne; whether these grievances respecting educational facilities, hours of duty, and quantity of food allowed were brought in accordance with the Regulations, to the notice of the commanding officer; whether the commanding officer accused the men of mutiny for so doing; whether these men receive payment of forty marks per fortnight; whether this amount is considered by the men insufficient; and whether he will institute the necessary inquiry with a view to these grievances being redressed?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am not aware of this, but inquiries are being made, and the hon. Member will be informed of the result in due course.
