HC Deb 20 December 1915 vol 77 cc48-9W
Mr. ELLIS GRIFFITH

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office what expenses have been incurred in voluntary recruiting by way of payments to recruiting officers, rents of premises, public meetings, advertisements in the Press, posters, and otherwise?

Mr. FORSTER

While I have every wish to give the information for which my right hon. and learned Friend asks, I really am not in a position to do so. Army accounts are kept under the heads prescribed by the Estimates and do not distinguish expenditure on recruiting from that on other purposes under the same heads.
