HC Deb 10 June 1918 vol 106 c1876
67. Mr. T. RICHARDSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the general complaints of scarcity of food at the Holtham Camp, near Withernsea, Hull; is he aware that there is no opportunity for the soldiers to buy food near the camp, and that in a large number of cases wives and mothers have to send bread to their relations in training at this camp; and if he will take immediate steps to see that these men are provided with a sufficiency of food?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The camp at Withernsea was last inspected in February, and the report stated that there was every evidence that the men were well fed. A further inspection will, however, be made, and I will inform my hon. Friend of the result.
