HC Deb 20 December 1915 vol 77 c39
98. Sir E. CORNWALL

asked whether the daily cost of hired transports in connection with the various military camps in this country exceeds £2,000 per day; whether his attention has been called to the waste of money caused by hiring motor lorries for camps when at contiguous camps numbers of such lorries are not being used; and what steps are being taken to organise such transport work?

Mr. FORSTER

I am not in a position to give figures for this expenditure, but the possibility of saving in this connection has already been receiving consideration.
