HC Deb 11 March 1918 vol 104 cc60-1W
Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Undersecretary of State for War if he is aware that a motor dental surgery has been presented to the British troops by the Silver Thimble Fund; and, if so, whether any official recognition has been made of the value and usefulness of the gift provided by the ladies associated with that fund?

Mr. MACPHERSON

These motor dental surgeries are officially recognised as "Mobile Dental Units," and are affording valuable assistance in the dental treatment of the troops in the field. The motor dental surgery presented by the Silver Thimble Fund was taken over by the War Office on the 8th March, and will be des patched without delay to France, where, I can assure my hon. Friend, its value and usefulness will be highly appreciated.
