§ 25. Captain MACNAMARAasked the Secretary of State for War whether soldiers are still ordered to be in possession of padlocks and canes; and whether they are issued with them free?
Mr. COOPERI am at the moment unable to add anything to the reply which I gave my hon. and gallant Friend to a question on the same subject on 12th May last.
§ Captain MACNAMARAIs it not time that, when soldiers are ordered to be in possession of certain equipment, they should be given that equipment free when they join the Army?
