COLONEL WELBYTO ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in his inquiries concerning the remount farms at Clark's Siding, South Africa, he will ascertain whether £1,000 worth of potatoes were grown on those farms during the Government leases and sold to private advantage; also, whether the lessor was allowed to change extra rent for stables, houses, and other buildings which were covered by the leases.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) The inquiries being made will include these points.
