§ Sir R. Aclandasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered a case of which particulars have been sent to him of young men who joined the Territorials in June, were called up at the end of August, and sent to France without previous leave on about 14th September; and will he give an assurance that these untrained men are sent to France for further training and not to go into the front line?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe hon. Member will appreciate the difficulty in answering his question in any detail, but I can tell him that the unit in question is employed in a rearward area on duties exactly similar to those which it would have carried out had it remained in England.
