§ MAJOR ARBUTHNOTasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he will take into consideration the desirability of building dormitories for the children of married soldiers in all new barracks, and of adding the same, as far as practicable, to those barracks now in existence?
§ MR. CARDWELLSir, we have not, as yet, completed the provision of separate quarters for married soldiers in the older barracks, for which money is annually voted in the Estimates. In the meantime, the introduction of short service will do much to diminish the necessity for an expenditure which would otherwise have become very considerable.
