HC Deb 14 December 1916 vol 88 cc893-4W
Mr. HOUSTON

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that margarine, sausages, and other articles of food supplied to the Army Service Corps stationed at Devonport are of such inferior quality that they are unfit for consumption; whether he can state who is responsible for supplying such food; and whether he will take steps to see that this branch of the Army is properly fed?

Mr. FORSTER

I am informed that the feeding of the men of the Army Service Corps at Devonport was recently inspected and found satisfactory. Bread, meat, bacon, salt, tea, and sugar are issued as the Service ration; other foodstuffs required are purchased, out of the 5½d messing allowance, from the regimental institute.
