HC Deb 13 March 1919 vol 113 cc1493-4W
Mr. MACQUISTEN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that troops and reinforcements at Havre, Rouen, and other base depots in France dwelt in tents in their passage through these depots during the whole period of the War and without regard to the period of the year, and that since the signing of the Armistice orders have been given for the erection of hutments to take the place of these tents; whether such hutments are now being erected; and what is going to be the cost?

Mr. CHURCHILL

A report has been called for from France, but has not yet been received. If my hon. Friend will repeat his question next week, I hope I shall then be in a position to reply.
