§ MR. E. YORKEasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the Government Plans for there-erection of Knights-bridge Barracks on their present site will be placed upon the Table of the House in sufficient time to admit of their careful consideration before the Estimates are brought on; if he could state to the House whether more land would be added to the site, and, if so, how much, on what side, and at what cost; and, to what extent, according to the Government Plan, will the Knightsbridge Road be widened?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, it was intended by the Government, if the House should assent, that Knightsbridge Barracks should be re-constructed on their present site. It was intended also, and negotiations were now going on for that purpose, to buy some land in the neighbourhood, but he did not intend to say exactly where, while the negotiations were going on. The 556 Knightsbridge Road, according to the Government Plan, would be considerably widened, for it would be 60ft. wide including footways, which he hoped would be an improvement to the district.
