§ Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that non-commissioned officers in many areas have informed soldiers who object to vaccination or inoculation that if they later become ill their pay will be stopped; and whether he will instruct commanding officers to stop non-commissioned officers making such threats to men who are exercising their rights regarding these operations?
§ Mr. StanleyI am not aware that non-commissioned officers have made the statements suggested, and, in the absence of any particulars, I do not think instructions are necessary.
