§ CAPTAIN NORTONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state why a sum of £4,000 was paid to the Imperial Yeomanry Committee in 1900–1901 for surplus clothing stores taken over at cost price, seeing that such articles as felt hats for which Army rates are 3s. 5½d. each were taken over at 8s. 10½d. each.
LORD STANLEYWill the hon. Member kindly refer to paragraph 44 of the Report of the Controller and Auditor General on the Army Accounts for 1900–1901, on which he has based his Question, and wherein he will find a full answer to it set forth.
