HC Deb 10 September 1941 vol 374 c198W
Mr. Sexton

asked the Secretary of State for War the name of the employer of soldiers engaged as beaters on the Stanhope Moor recently; the daily rate paid per soldier; and whether he is satisfied that the men who were put on this work could not have been employed on agriculture or other work of national importance?

Captain Margesson

I am having inquiries made and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
