§ Sir J. BUTCHERasked the Secretary for War whether the adoption of the Northern Command Order 305 of 1917 by other commands throughout the country has led to a saving of money; and whether he can state the approximate amount of the saving so effected?
Captain GUESTThe institution in units of quarterly stock-taking boards on the lines of the Northern Command Order mentioned is reported to have had satisfactory results. I regret that it is not possible to estimate the savings effected.
