HC Deb 07 March 1918 vol 103 c2138W
Sir SAMUEL ROBERTS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that through the action of Army agents a large number of cases, estimated to contain about 5,000 rabbits, have become unfit for human food in a cold storage at Chesterfield (Midland) Goods Station; and what action he proposes to take with reference to the matter?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My attention has been drawn to a statement in the Press to this effect, but, so far as my information goes, the Army authorities were in no way responsible for any loss there may have been. I am, however, having full inquiries made with a view to clearing the matter up, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend later.
