HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 c835
43. Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has received a communication from the Radstock Co-operative Industrial Society, complaining that, owing to the action of the military authorities in commandeering all hay and to other causes, the society has no hay for the forty horses which are working daily in supplying the population of a large area with the necessities of life; and whether he has taken immediate steps to release enough hay and other fodder for the interests of the Radstock mining district?

Mr. FORSTER

Yes, Sir. A communication was received from this society, and arrangements were at once made by which they have secured a supply of hay.
