HC Deb 10 September 1914 vol 66 c641
48. Mr. JAMES HOGGE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether offers of socks, shirts, etc., have been declined for the use of soldiers at the front; and whether this means that soldiers on active service are having all wear and tear on clothes made good without any charge to them?

Mr. TENNANT

The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.

Mr. HOGGE

The second part of the question is the only part that wants answering: Whether this means that soldiers on active service are having all wear and tear on clothes made good without any charge to them?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes.
