§ 18. Sir JOHN JARDINEasked the Secretary of State for War whether arrangements have been made to supply dentists to troops on the Tigris, beyond Basra, or to the division cantoned at Nasiriya, on the Euphrates?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe force in Mesopotamia has been supplied with all the dentists and dental mechanics for which it has asked, and the Army Council were quite recently informed by cable that no more were required. The distribution of the dentists and dental mechanics sent out is, of course, a matter for the discretion of the local military authorities.
