§ MR. WARNER (Staffordshire, Lichfield)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the clothes of the troops who have been some time on active service are worn out and have not been renewed; and why appeals have 701 been made to private sources for flannel shirts and socks if the Government is supplying these articles.
§ * MR. WYNDHAMProvision has been made for replacing any clothes worn out. No appeals for flannel shirts or socks have been made by the Government, but persons desirous of forwarding comforts to the troops have been informed that amongst other articles these things would be useful.
