§ Mr. Lyonsasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give an assurance that adequate steps are being taken to ensure that by expert inspection and instruction the feeding arrangements for all ranks on detachment or in requisitioned houses are clear and satisfactory; whether officers in command of units or detachments have facilities for obtaining expert advice in that connection; and, if not, what steps are proposed to ensure early improvement?
§ Mr. EdenThe responsibility for feeding arrangements in these cases rests with commanding officers who have adequate staff for the purpose. The help and advice of the catering department of the Army is at the disposal of general officers commanding, who have several catering advisers attached to their staffs: in addition, each division has a catering adviser.
