§ Mr. WHITEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office what additional mechanical methods have been introduced into the War Office during the current financial year; and what success has attended experiments made in this direction in out-station establishments?
§ Mr. HACKINGNo additional mechanical methods have been introduced into the War Office itself during the current financial year. At the out-stations the experiments have resulted in mechanical methods having been adopted for store-accounting and contract payments in certain ordnance depots, and for bill-accounting in the Eastern Command pay office. Experiments at other depots and offices are continuing.
