§ 40. Mr. HAYDAYasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in connection with the complaint that soldiers demobilised from Shirehampton Camp are not allowed an exchange of worn-out clothing, he is aware that Private F. Jones, No. 235086, 2nd Troop, 73rd squadron, Royal Army Service Corp (Remounts), who was demobilised from this camp on the 14th March last, was refused an exchange for his cardigan jacket, underpants and socks, which he had been wearing since the 13th September, 1916; and whether he will make further inquiries into this complaint?
§ Mr. FORSTERIn view of the large number of men passing through this camp daily it would be difficult to verify a statement of this kind three weeks after the event, but I will see what steps, if any, can be taken.
