HC Deb 27 August 1914 vol 66 cc153-4
60. Mr. J. HOGGE

asked what arrangements have been made to obviate any of the scandals connected with the supply of foodstuffs to the British Army during the present War as occurred in the war in South Africa?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Harold Baker)

My hon. Friend can hardly expect me to explain the arrangements in detail, but he may rest assured that they have been made.

Mr. HOGGE

Does not this House contain many Members who could assist the War Office in seeing that that is done?

Mr. BAKER

No doubt their advice would be valuable, but I hope that it will be unnecessary.
