MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEasked the Secretary of State for War what has been the cost of supplying officers' messes in the United Kingdom with furniture up to date, and what sum has been received at the rate of 1d. per diem, from officers as hire during the same period?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe information asked for could not be obtained without altogether disproportionate labour, but I am satisfied that the rent charged does not more than compensate for the cost incurred.
