§ SIR JOHN KINLOCH (Perthshire, E.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the potatoes for the use of our troops in South Africa are bought in America; and, if so, what are they costing per ton delivered at Cape Town; and what is the reason that they are not bought in this country.
MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMSMy hon. friend is under a misapprehension. Potatoes are not being supplied either from home or foreign sources to the troops in South Africa.
