§ MR. COURTENAY WARNER () Staffordshire, LichfieldTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Field Force Canteen is being wound up and remodelled under the official title of the Garrison Institutes in South Africa; and, if so, whether he will publish its accounts and state in what way the profits that have been earned will be made use of.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.)With the cessation of hostilities the Field Force Canteen system is in process of being remodelled to suit the requirements of the force remaining in South Africa. With regard to balance in hand no decision has as yet been made as to its disposal, and therefore it would be-premature to consider the question of publication of the accounts.
