§ 77. Mr. GILBERTasked the Under-Secretary for War if he was aware that there are many complaints as to the way food is cooked in the London military hospitals; whether his Department has had any inquiries made about the same; if any reports exist suggesting improvements in the method of cooking the food supplied to our wounded men; and will he cause inquiries to be made into the matter with a view to improvement?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONSome complaints of the nature mentioned have been received, and an officer from the War Office has been sent to investigate the matter and make suggestions with a view to improvement. I would add that the whole question of cooking in military hospitals is receiving close attention, and the 782 appointment of expert lady cooks to act as inspectors of cooking in military hospitals is at present under consideration.
