§ MR. CAINE (Bradford, E.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he can now state when the 565 repairs of Bradford Barracks will be proceeded with?
§ * THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. WOODALL,) HanleyA detailed examination of these barracks has just been made by the Commanding Royal Engineer and the Principal Medical Officer of the North-Western District, with the result that though the barracks are not of the most modern type there is very little to complain of. The buildings are substantial and in fair repair. The Hospital is not sufficiently warmed; but steps will be taken before next Winter to remedy this and some other small defects. During the recent coal strike these barracks were unavoidably overcrowded; but there is ample room for the three companies which ordinarily are stationed at Bradford.
§ MR. WOODALLI shall be happy to show the hon. Member the Report on which my answer is founded.
