§ Mr. CROOKSasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, he is aware that wounded soldiers lying in hospital in France have to buy their own tobacco, matches, stamps, or any other little thing they may need, and that many of them are without any money; and whether arrangements can be made to provide the men with these comforts or necessaries or, alternatively, that the men shall receive an advance of pay to tide them over this period?
§ Mr. FORSTERI was not aware that the position was as stated by my right hon. Friend, but I am having inquiry made into the matter in France.
