Mr. PALMERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the number of mules and other transport animals with the British Salonika force is considerably in excess of establishment; and, if so, whether, in view of the existing shortness of tonnage and the number of ships required to maintain the supply of forage at Salonika, the number of transport animals there will be reduced?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe number of animals at Salonika surplus to establishment is not more than is required to provide an adequate reserve.
