§ Mr. GWYNNEasked the Secretary of State for War whether men coming back from France and Italy are still being brought back in cattle trucks; and, if this is the only means of conveyance available, could he arrange for some hammocks to be placed therein to enable the men to lie down?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAs regards the trucks which are being used, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday to a question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for Bradford East. They are closed goods wagons, with solid sides, and shutters for ventilation, and those used for demobilisation purposes are provided with stoves. I do not know whether my hon. Friend's suggestion as to the use of hammocks is practicable, but I will certainly have it considered.
