asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that parents of soldiers stationed at Hudswell camp, Corsham, Wilts, are complaining that their sons stationed at this camp are being sent home on leave in a verminous state; that as a consequence much needed bed clothes have to be destroyed; and whether he will take steps immediately to investigate this matter.

No complaints have been received about this camp, where the accommodation is up to standard and adequate washing facilities exist. I am, however, obtaining a report on the matter, in view of the allegations contained in the Question.
