§ 23. Captain Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for War, whether he will give an assurance that adequate coal will be supplied to troops during the winter; and whether an extra ration will be authorised for those in particularly cold billets, in view of the fact that coal supplies are plentiful throughout the country?
§ Captain Anstruther-GrayWill my right hon. Friend make some differentiation between the rations to soldiers in comfortable billets and those to soldiers in cold billets, such as houses which have not been inhabited for several years?
§ Mr. EdenThat is a rather different classification, but I think that generally my answer meets my hon. and gallant Friend's point.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallBefore the right hon. Gentleman worries about coal, will he see that men now under canvas are put into huts before the winter?
