HC Deb 11 February 1915 vol 69 c717
61. Mr. WHELER

asked under whose authority the sites for the huts for the New Armies and Territorial Forces were selected; and whether those persons carrying out these duties had had any previous experience in selecting suitable sites for huts?

Mr. TENNANT

The sites were selected under the orders of the Army Council. The actual choice was made both locally by commands and by selected officers detailed from the War Office.

62. Mr. WHELER

asked whether, in all cases where huts have been or are being erected on flat grass or arable land for the use of the New Armies and Territorial Force, any schemes of drainage were or are being carried out?

Mr. TENNANT

Drainage is being attended to in the case of all hutted camps, and not only in the case of any which may be in flat arable and pasture land.
