§ *THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordIn reply to my hon. Friend, and also to the Question standing in the name of the hon. Member for East Bradford, I have to say that the local military authorities furnished the information on which the estimate for the repairs to Bradford Barracks was framed. The actual expenditure during 1895–6 has been, under Sub-head Q £244, and under Sub-head T£881. Further sums will be expended in 1896–7, estimated at £479 for repairs and painting and £618 for drainage. These services will complete the necessary work; but the barracks are now available for occupation by troops.
