asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that there is very little accommodation available for officers passing through Glasgow and that what there is in hotels falls very heavily on an officer's pocket; and will he, in order to meet the demand, arrange to start an officers' club, with sleeping accommodation, with an annexe for batmen accompanying officers on duty?

Officers on temporary duty and their batmen ate normally billeted, if there is no War Department accommodation which they can occupy. A hostel is being provided in Glasgow for the use of officers on leave or in transit when not on duty.
