HC Deb 12 March 1872 vol 209 c1851
SIR HERBERT CROFT

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, under the new scheme, the Herefordshire Regiment of Militia will in future assemble at Brecon for training instead of at Hereford; and, whether the present Barracks at Hereford will in future be required for Military purposes, and have to be maintained at the expense of the County?

MR. CARDWELL

said, in reply, that the Herefordshire regiment of Militia would, when the new scheme was introduced, assemble for training at the depôt centre. When the proposal was laid on the Table of the House Brecon was mentioned as a depôt centre, subject to further consideration. The Hereford barracks would in future be required for military purposes; but, under no circumstances, would they be maintained in future at the expense of the county.
