HC Deb 17 July 1893 vol 14 c1700
MR. HANBURY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what steps have been taken to carry out proposals made to the Wantage Committee as to the provision of boxes or lockers in the barrack rooms, of good light, of dining rooms separate from the sleeping apartments, and of hot water for ablution rooms in winter, all of which the Committee declared to be highly desirable, especially the first and third proposals?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

With the exception of hot water for ablution rooms, these improvements are being carried out in new barracks, and in any old barracks which may be reconstructed.

MR. HANBURY

And why not in existing barracks?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I imagine that that would involve a very considerable expense.

MR. HANBURY

I shall press this matter on the Army Vote.
