I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if be can give the names of Members of the Committee about to be assembled by the Commander-in-Chief to inquire into the management and mode of supplying army canteens; and whether care will be taken that only officers having practical experience in the management and inspection of canteens will be appointed, and that no officer who is a member of or pecuniarily interested in any society, company, or firm at present doing business with canteens will be allowed to serve on the said Committee.
