§ SIR JAMES FERGUSSONsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, When it is intended that the portion of Edinburgh Castle which was pulled down with a view to improvements shall be rebuilt?
MR. T. G. BARINGsaid, that the plans for rebuilding part of Edinburgh Castle, though they had been under consideration for some years, had not yet been decided upon by the Secretary of State for War. The plans, if carried out, would involve a considerable expenditure, and no sum had been taken for them in this year's Estimates. He could not, therefore, give any positive answer as to the rebuilding of that portion of the Castle.
