HC Deb 16 August 1889 vol 339 c1479
MR. LAFONE (Southwark, Bermondsey)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Island Bridge Barracks were duly handed over to the 4th Hussars on their arrival from Cork, and that the headquarters, recruits, and married men were settled there; if the Royal Barracks were too unhealthy for the 5th Dragoon Guards, why the 4th Hussars are to be removed there; and, if they are removed from Island Bridge, whether the expenses incurred by the married men will be repaid them?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

The details of these removals are all arranged by the Commander of the Forces in Ireland, and I have not yet received a Report on the circumstances, and I would only now repeat what I said yesterday—that in the cavalry barracks in question there has been no recent case of fever nor any evidence of unhealthy condition.
