§ 29. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked whether supplies of timber and corrugated iron have been disembarked at the Dardanelles to enable shelters to be erected for the troops during the winter months; and, if not, what other steps have been taken to prepare for the comfort and health of the troops during the coming winter?
§ Mr. TENNANTCareful attention has been given to this matter. Arrangements for the supply of timber are being made locally, and a consignment from this country to supplement the local supplies has also been arranged for. Corrugated steel has been sent. I may add that sectional huts are being made up and despatched from this country, in addition to the supplies of material I have mentioned.
