§ MR. MOND (Chester)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to a case before the Portsmouth brewster sessions, of a pensioned warrant officer having beer delivered at his house by the canteen of the Royal Marine Artillery sergeants' mess; whether such sale was not contrary to the regulations; and whether he will take steps to protect traders in garrison towns against this form of competition.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. Edmund Robertson,) DundeeMy attention has been called to this case, and steps have now been taken to prevent the recurrence of a similar practice in future.
