asked the Secretary of State for India whether any house-building or hut-building material has been sent to Mesopotamia from this country since the Armistice with Turkey; if so, what quantities have been sent; whether any railway locomotives and wagons have been sent to Mesopotamia from this country since the Armistice with Turkey; and, if so, how many have been sent?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

Approximately 3,265 tons of building material have been despatched to Mesopotamia since October, 1918. No railway locomotives or wagons have been sent.

May I ask if in future questions regarding Mesopotamia should be addressed to the War Office?

That is so, if they are military matters.
