Mr. SNOWDEN
asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he will inquire into the conditions at the B Battery, 4th Reserve Brigade, High Wycombe, where the men complain of being given field punishment on the most trivial excuses, where the feeding arrangements are very bad, and where men reporting sick are given two hours' extra night duty; and, seeing that this battery is composed largely of men who have been wounded, will he take steps to see that the conditions are improved?
Mr. MACPHERSON
I cannot very well make inquiries upon the information given, but if the conditions are as suggested by my hon. Friend, the men concerned should exercise their statutory right of complaint under the provisions of Section 43 of the Army Act.
