§ Major HURSTasked the Secretary of State for War whether Private P. Corcoran, No. 3991, 2nd Battalion Leinster Regiment, of 71, York Street, Manchester, was demobilised on 5th February, 1919, with a promise of plain clothes, for which he was measured; whether he will direct that such clothes be issued to this soldier; and whether all letters addressed on this subject to the Director of the Army Clothing Department, including a letter of the 24th June, 1919, from the local secretary of the Comrades of the Great War, have failed to elicit any acknowledgment or reply?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am informed that the form of application for the suit, giving the necessary measurements and particulars, was never received, and the reply to the secretary of the Comrades of the Great War was delayed whilst search was made for the missing document. Private Corcoran has now been asked for his measurements, and on receipt of this information a suit will be issued immediately.
