§ Sir ARTHUR FELLasked the Secretary of State for War what he proposes to do with the huts and wooden buildings at Etaples and other camps in France; if the same can be taken down and transported to England; and if he has made-inquiry of contractors as to how they can deal with them to the best advantage, whether by light sawmills on the spot or in some other way?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThe Commissioner of the Disposal Board in France is in constant communication with the Controller of the Huts and Building Materials Disposal Section in this country, as to-whether huts, etc., can be sold to better advantage in France than in the United Kingdom. A large number of huts have already been disposed of to the French and Belgian authorities. In view of the transport charges, etc., it will, in many cases, be more advantageous to sell huts-in France, particularly if they can be soldin situ.
