§ 12. Mr. TILLETTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that steps are being taken to alter the present method of employing a cartage contractor to deal with the transport of Army clothing; and whether he will take the necessary steps to prevent the passing to military units work at present done by civil labour?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSI do not know what case the hon. Member has in mind, but I could not instruct any military authority to incur unnecessary expense in hiring civil transport when Army transport is available.
