HC Deb 07 June 1878 vol 240 cc1342-3
MR. O'DONNELL

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether his attention has been called to discontent among the men of the Tyrone Fusiliers, in barracks at Omagh, at the quality of the rations supplied to them; and, if he will make inquiries into the circumstances attending the contract for the supply of beef, mutton, and especially pork?

COLONEL STANLEY

Sir, I have no information with respect to this subject. No complaint of any kind has reached the War Office. I have telegraphed for information to the General commanding in Ireland, and have not yet received an answer. I would ask the hon. Gentleman, if he can furnish me with any information on the subject which may lead to further inquiry?
