§ LORD STANLEY (Lancashire, S.E., Westhoughton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the stores required for the equipment of the Field Army on mobilisation are complete in all respects at the present date; if not, what sum of money is required, approximately, to provide for the deficiencies, and why was not provision made in last year's Estimates for the completion of those most important reserves; and is it intended, during the coming financial year, to provide for their completion?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN,) Stirling BurghsThe noble Lord will scarcely expect that, having in view the good of the public service, I can answer his question in any detail. If from time to time deficiencies are found to exist steps are taken to supply them.
