§ 28. Mr. BOOTHasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if the commanding officer at the camp at Romsey has reported on the alleged scandals in connection with the construction; whether the hon. and gallant Member for Widnes has inspected similar camps in other parts of the country; and whether he has been asked to visit this camp to report on the state of the work?
Mr. BAKERNo, Sir, the report has not yet been received from the command, but I am asking that it may be sent without delay. The hon. and gallant Member for Widnes was asked by my right hon. Friend to visit various remount depots and report upon their management, but I understand that he was not asked to visit the camp at Romsey, as it had only just been commenced when he made his tour.
§ Mr. BOOTHWill the hon. and gallant Member be permitted to visit Romsey in view of the admitted irregularities?
