§ 6. Mr. Footasked the Secretary of State for War on what grounds his Department proposes to keep in its possession a volume recently borrowed by his Department from the Plymouth Libraries and Museums Committee.
§ Mr. HeadThis book is War Office property and strayed to the Plymouth Library. In view of the circumstances in which it was recaptured it will be returned to Plymouth on indefinite loan.
§ Mr. FootWould it not have been more courteous if the War Office had sent that reply in the first place, instead of telling the Plymouth Libraries Committee, from whom it had seized this book, that it had been decided by the War Office that it was going to hang on to it?
