HC Deb 07 May 1900 vol 82 c873
MR. BROADHURST (Leicester)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the War Office have had submitted to them a food which is healthy and satisfying, a pound weight of which will be sufficient for a day's rations and can be carried in a small tin; and, if so, whether the Government have approved of the article, and whether they will supply the troops now in South Africa with the food referred to.

* MR. WYNDHAM

Many samples of various foods have been submitted to the War Office for trial, but none has been received complying with all the conditions mentioned in the question.
