HC Deb 01 September 1893 vol 16 cc1700-1
MR. ROSS (Londonderry)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what time has elapsed since it was decided to make Londonderry the headquarters of a regiment; and when do the authorities intend to commence the necessary extensions to the barracks?

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOB WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN,) Stirling, &c.

It was about two years ago that it was decided to make Londonderry the headquarters of the battalion instead of Enniskillen. It is hoped that building operations will commence next year.
