HC Deb 25 February 1919 vol 112 cc1596-7W
Mr. ROBERT YOUNG

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the men in the Southern Command were paraded and wereasked whether they were prepared to support and assist the Government to break strikes, whether they were willing to be paraded for service overseas, and whether they considered Army Order No. 14 to be fair and just; is he aware of the resentment felt bythe men at this action of the military authorities; and what action does the Government propose to take in the matter?

Captain GUEST

I have no knowledge of the alleged incident, and without knowing the unit or units concerned I regret it is impossible to make any investigation. If the hon. Member will furnish further particulars, I shall be happy to have inquiry made.
