§ Mr. FIELDasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that requests have been made by soldiers at the front for a supply of Irish twist tobacco; and whether he will arrange that it shall be supplied?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am not aware that requests have been made by solders at the front for a supply of Irish twist tobacco. On the recommendations of a committee of experienced officers, it was decided that only medium strength tobacco 1283W should be provided for the troops. Irish twist tobacco does not, I understand, comply with this requirement.
