§ MR. W. REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state whether it is by the orders of the War Office that Commanding Officers of regiments stationed in cities in Ireland do not get their supplies of articles sold in canteens, including beer, &c, from local traders?
§ * THE SECRETARY OK STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN, Stirling, &c.)I have already stated, on several occasions in this House, that canteens are managed by committees, and that those committees are free to obtain supplies from any source they may select.
