HC Deb 23 August 1889 vol 340 c241
MR. LAFONE (Southwark, Bermondsey)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he is now in a position to explain why the 4th Hussars were turned out of the Island Bridge Barracks, Dublin, to make room for the 5th Dragoon Guards; and if he will see that the married men of the 4th Hussars are compensated for the serious expense they have been put to by this change of quarters?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE,) Lincoln, Horncastle

The explanation of these moves is rather complicated for the answer to a question; but I will hand to my hon. Friend a copy of a letter from the general officer commanding in Ireland, in which the reasons for what has been done are fully stated.
