§ MR. HANBURYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any 205 decision has yet been arrived at with reference to the use to be made of the Fulwood Barracks at Preston, on which a considerable sum has recently been spent?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEThe Fulwood Barracks at Preston will continue to be occupied by troops. The removal of the field battery depôt leaves them large enough to accommodate a whole battalion, which was not previously the case.
§ In answer to Mr. TOMLINSON (Preston),
§ MR. E. STANHOPEsaid: Upon the whole, in the distribution of troops, it is thought best to have infantry at Preston.
