§ Mr. DUNCAN MILLARasked the Under-Secretary for War whether some 150,000 gallons or more of rum have bean sent out for the use of the British Army at the front; whether the rum is being served out to the men in their tea or at other times without their wishes being consulted in the matter; and whether, having regard to the fact that at least one-fifth of the Army are teetotalers, and that Lord Kitchener has indicated that the consumption of alcohol by our soldiers should be discouraged, steps will be taken to prevent the issue and use of rum by our Army in future except for purely medicinal purposes for the sick and wounded?
§ Mr. TENNANTI would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to-day to oral questions by the hon. Members for Shoreditch and for Bury.
