§ SIR THOMAS DEWARTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the expediency of making such arrangements as will enable grocers and other provision dealers to tender for the supply of Army canteens in the Metropolis and at the various garrison towns or other military stations.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) The method of supply for articles sold in regimental institutes is always settled locally by the General Officer Commanding the Army Corps or district concerned. Regulations are being prepared for their guidance, and the suggestion contained in the Question is included therein.
