§ SIR BRAMPTON GURDON (Norfolk, N.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the hay and straw purchased for the Army are entirely homegrown; or, if not, what proportion is imported.
1341 (Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The contracts do not contain any specification as to sources of supply, and accordingly it is not possible to give any definite reply to the Question. Most probably by far the greater part is home-grown.
