HC Deb 18 January 1944 vol 396 c53W
Mr. Pritt

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that, on the afternoon of Friday, 10th December, in a military camp, particulars of which have been given to him, a soldier undergoing detention was made to double around a square with a full big pack, small pack, a water bottle, a rifle and a steel helmet, under the orders of a company-sergeant-major and a military policeman; and whether he will immediately put a stop to this practice, which has previously been officially announced to have been given up some time ago.

Sir J. Grigg

I was not satisfied with the report rendered on this case and I am having it further investigated. I regret therefore that I cannot give the hon. and learned Member a full answer but as soon as the investigation is completed I will communicate with him.
