§ Captain Sir CHARLES BATHURSTasked the Under-Secretary of State for 1386W War if he is aware that the difference in the nature and amount of the food served to officers and men respectively in the South Mead Hospital at Bristol has evoked considerable comment and some feelings of discontent among the latter after leaving the hospital; and whether the present disparity of treatment of different military ranks can be discontinued?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am not aware of any complaints as to the nature and amount of the food supplied to men in this hospital. The hospital has been inspected from time to time, and the food quantities found to be sufficient. I will, however, call for a further report, and will let my hon. and gallant Friend know the result.
