HALLSir F. asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office what is the approximate value of clothes and stores, separately, that were in hand at the date of the last stocktaking?
§ Captain KINGI regret that I am not in a position to give these figures. The possibility of an annual valuation of Army stores, as recommended by the Public Accounts Committee, is being actively investigated, but there are many difficulties and no conclusion has yet been arrived at.
