HC Deb 04 April 1892 vol 3 c579
MR. JORDAN (Clare, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if it has been determined to remove for the future the military headquarters from the borough of Enniskillen to Londonderry; and, if so, will he state on what grounds?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

The headquarters of the regiment will be removed from Enniskillen to Londonderry when barrack accommodation is ready, as being a preferable station on military grounds. A detachment will remain at Enniskillen.

MR. JORDAN

I know very well that it is on military grounds, but that is a general term. I want to know on what grounds?

* MR. E. STANHOPE

I can hardly be expected to give the hon. Member a full statement, but I will say that it is mainly because there is more suitable accommodation for barracks at Londonderry. A detachment will remain at Enniskillen.

MR. JORDAN

How can there be better accommodation when there are no barracks built. I will repeat this question another time.
