§ Mr. Toucheasked the Secretary of State for War whether he proposes to utilise the services of the large number of soldiers from Allied armies now in this country; and whether he is aware that many of these men are at present without any occupation although they have been trained to build defence works?
§ Mr. LawThe situation of the foreign troops in this country is fully realised and steps are in hand, in conjunction with the national authorities concerned, to reorganise and re-equip them as soon as possible. Pending the completion of such reorganisation and re-equipment, arrangements are being made to employ foreign troops on various defence works. Some are already so employed, and the numbers will increase as sorting out and reorganisation progresses.
