§ 25. Sir H. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is prepared to appoint a court of inquiry into the circumstances of the requisitioning of the chattels at a camp of which he has been informed?
§ Captain MargessonIn the public interest it is proposed to requisition the chattels in question rather than continue the hiring agreement. I see no reason for setting up a court of inquiry in this case in which ordinary procedure would be followed.
§ Sir H. WilliamsHas an inquiry of this nature already taken place?
§ Captain MargessonNo, Sir, not so far as I am aware.
§ Sir H. WilliamsCan my right hon. and gallant Friend find out whether there has been a partial inquiry?
§ Captain MargessonYes, Sir.
