§ MR. JESSE COLLINGS (Birmingham, Bordesley)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state the total amount of money spent on land and buildings at the Enfield factory?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. WOODALL,) HanleyThe expenditure at Enfield, commencing in the year 1854, has been for land £2,670, besides about £7,000 for a rifle range. For buildings £195,398 has been spent. Of course, during the long period involved, depreciation has greatly reduced the imputed value of the buildings, which my right hon. Friend will see in the annual balance-sheet of the factory as standing at a much smaller figure.
