§ Mr. FIELDasked the Secretary of State for War whether public stores were found missing from the Army Ordnance Department, Curragh Camp; if so, what was the value of the stores; on whom was the responsibility for the safe custody of the stores fixed; if any soldiers were censured in connection with the transaction; whether the chief ordnance officer is supposed to be responsible; and, if not, whether he will have an inquiry instituted into the working of this Department generally?
§ Mr. HALDANEA full inquiry was held into certain deficiencies of stores in the Army Ordnance Department at the Curragh and the necessary disciplinary action has been taken. It is not proposed to publish any further details in connection with this case.
