HC Deb 03 May 1909 vol 4 c713
Mr. ASHLEY

I desire to ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, in this year's mobilisation of the garrison of Gibraltar, the Army Service Corps assisted the infantry in defending the fortress; and, if so, whether this was done in consequence of the inadequacy of the garrison, or whether it is proposed in future to utilise the Army Service Corps in this manner?

Mr. HALDANE

The report of the mobilisation for 1909 has not yet been received. I am therefore unable to reply to the hon. Member's question.

Mr. ASHLEY

Will the right hon. Gentleman say, if the Army Service Corps did assist, whether that would be in accordance with the regulations?

Mr. HALDANE

We will consider that question when we get the information.
