HC Deb 18 April 1905 vol 145 c440
MR. J. H. LEWIS

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the payment of £200 in July, 1903, for stout supplied in June, 1901, to the British Army in South Africa and the payment of £200 in January, 1904, for the same quantity of stout constitute one transaction, or are they two different transactions.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) These are two different transactions. The £200 paid in July, 1903, was for stout supplied in June, 1901. The £200 paid in January, 1904, was for stout supplied in December, 1901.
