HC Deb 17 January 1918 vol 101 c517W
Colonel ASHLEY

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that the question of the 4d. a night billeting rate has now been under consideration for three months; whether the further evidence which the hon. Member for Blackpool placed before him on 14th December has been gone into; and what action he proposes to take to relieve a particular section of the public of a burden which is justly a charge on the general taxpayer?

Mr. FORSTER

I hope that it will be possible to announce a definite decision shortly.
