HC Deb 19 June 1890 vol 345 cc1351-2
MR. LABOUCHERE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what are the rules in regard to the admission of tradesmen to the forts and barracks at Plymouth; and whether any respectable tradesman of the town will be allowed a pass on application?

MR. E. STANHOPE

The general principle of recent rules is to limit as far as possible the admission of persons to military works and buildings, except upon business. Provision is made for a pass for tradesmen and others who may be admitted to the residential portion of any fort or barrack, at the discretion of the General Officer commanding the district.
