HC Deb 29 November 1917 vol 99 cc2249-50W
Sir WILLIAM BULL

asked whether, since the War Office was unable at the last moment to follow its usual practice of lending tents to the public secondary schools cadet camp at Marlborough, and that this led to an expenditure of £270, exclusive of transport, and also that the continuation of this camp, the schools attending which have supplied many officers for the Army, is now in doubt owing to a deficit on the year's working of £250, the War Office will make a grant towards the cost of tents?

Mr. FORSTER

The War Office lends tents when it can, but cannot undertake to supply them or to make grants in lieu.
