HC Deb 10 April 1919 vol 114 cc2253-4W
Major Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the Secretary of State for War if temporary officers, Royal Army Medical Corps, who signed a contract with the War Office last May for twelve months' service (in Russia or elsewhere) will be allowed to return to this country at the expiration of the year contracted for and resume their civil practice?

Captain GUEST

Yes, Sir, provided transport facilities are available. It would not be possible at present.

Major BORWICK

asked the Secretary of State for War what prices are being obtained for chargers, troop or gun horses, and transport mules, when sold in Greece or the Balkan States?

Mr. FORSTER

Returns to 29th March, inclusive, show that 2,907 horses have been sold at an average price of just under £42, and 7,907 mules at an average of over £41. Six hundred heavy horses unsuitable for sale locally were shipped to Marseilles and sold at approximately £75 each.
