§ 130. Mr. J. Morrisonasked the Secretary of State for War what steps he is taking to improve the conditions of camps occupied by British troops in Palestine; and what current British newspapers and what entertainments are provided for troops who are confined to camps at night owing to the political situation.
§ Mr. BellengerWith regard to the first part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave last week to the hon. and gallant Member for Barnstaple, of which I am sending him a copy. Middle East Land Forces as a whole receive from the War Office British Sunday newspapers on a scale of one for every 10 men. I have called for a report on the provision to troops in Palestine of entertainments and I will write to the hon. Member.
