Captain TERRELLasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the complaints regarding the provision made at Chanak, in the Dardanelles, for both officers and men in transit; whether the food is insufficient and indifferent, the accommodation poor, the camp filthy and ill-provided with any proper equipment; whether, as no beds are provided, sick people have to borrow stretchers to lie on; whether, although the camp is greatly used, there is an entire lack of every convenience which should be reasonably expected, since men have to remain there for many days waiting for transport; and whether he will have a prompt investigation made into the whole state of affairs?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo complaints have been received, but I am obtaining a report from the General Officer Commanding, and will acquaint my hon. and gallant Friend as soon as it is received.
