§ MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will be able soon to appoint the Committee to inquire into the question as to the feasibility of utilising the properties and revenues of Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals for the purpose of paying out pensions to Army age-pensioners, on a plan similar to that adopted in connection with the funds of Greenwich Hospital?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANYes, Sir, I am appointing a Committee to inquire into the origin and circumstances of Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals, and whether their revenues could be more advantageously used for the benefit of the Army. The nomination of the Committee is all but completed.
