asked the Secretary of State for War if he is satisfied that the accommodation and, in particular, married quarters at Shorncliffe for noncommissioned ranks in transit from overseas are adequate and sanitary; whether rations are immediately available; and if proper arrangements are made to enable pay and allowances to be drawn.

On the assumption that the hon. and learned Member is referring to the transit camp housed in the Royal Pavilion Hotel. Folkestone, yes, Sir.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that personnel coming home from overseas disembark at various ports, such as Shorncliffe? Has he any information in regard to the quarters there?

No, Sir. I cannot give any further reply unless the hon. and learned Gentleman will give me more details of what he wants me to investigate.
