§ 34. Sir FORTESCUE FLANNERYasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can now state the reason for the delay in reimbursing the Kelvedon Parish Council for the compulsory use on the 29th March, 1917, of their fire engine; whether he is aware that expenditure amounting to £4 17s. was incurred by the parish council in making an unnecessary attendance in obedience to superior military orders; and whether the expenditure will now be refunded by the War Office?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am afraid my inquiries are not yet complete. I will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I am in a position to do so.
