§ 71. Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the Under-Secretary for War whether, in view of the fact that the training of the troops on Salisbury Plain has been interfered with by the wet weather, owing to the men being quartered in tents with no facilities for drying their clothes, it would be possible to provide at all camps to be used during the winter sheds with heating apparatus for drying clothes, so that the training might be carried on in all weathers without undue risk to health?
§ Mr. TENNANTIn every battalion camp there will be a drying shed for drying clothes—this had been already arranged from the very first.
§ Sir H. CRAIKIt has not been in existence.
§ Mr. TENNANTThat is, I am afraid, owing to the fact that we have not been able to completely carry out the arrangements which have been made.
