§ Mr. ASHLEYI 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. HALDANEThe report of the mobilisation for 1909 has not yet been received. I am therefore unable to reply to the hon. Member's question.
§ Mr. ASHLEYWill the right hon. Gentleman say, if the Army Service Corps did assist, whether that would be in accordance with the regulations?
§ Mr. HALDANEWe will consider that question when we get the information.
