§ 91. Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the rents paid by the stallholders in the Tidworth garrison market have been recently raised; whether an extension of time can be granted before such notices become operative; and whether he is aware of an order recently given prohibiting the holders of refreshment stalls from selling refreshments for consumption in the market?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSI am aware that instructions of the character indicated were issued locally, but the operation of those instructions was suspended some weeks ago, pending investigation by the War Office. That investigation is still proceeding, and meanwhile the local instructions remain in suspense.
