Major Viviansaid, it would be in the recollection of the House that the noble Viscount, the Member for Sunderland, during the discussion on the army estimates, was pleased to reflect on the state of the barracks in the West Indies; and although he attached no blame to his noble relative, the late Master-general of the Ordnance, yet, as blame might fall on his noble relative if the noble Lord's statements were correct, he begged to move for certain returns, for the purpose of showing the expenditure connected with the barrack establishment in the colonies and the United Kingdom.
§ Captain Bolderosaid, it would take a long time to prepare the returns required by the hon. Member, and he must suggest, therefore that the returns be confined to the West Indies.
§ Motion agreed to.
