HC Deb 02 April 1897 vol 48 c402
MR. JOHN WILSON (Falkirk Burghs)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, with a view to the defence of North Britain, he will consider the advisability of establishing a camp similar to that of Aldershot at some central point, such as Carstairs, in Lanarkshire, where the troops of the northern districts could be conveniently mobilised?

MR. BRODRICK

said he hail answered this identical Question in reply to another hon. Member on a former occasion.

MR. J. WILSON (Falkirk)

asked if he might hear what the former answer was?

MR. BRODRICK

said he was afraid he could not trouble the House a second day running with a long reply to the same Question.

MR. J. WILSON (Falkirk)

said this was not the same Question at, all.

MR. BRODRICK

said he had answered this precise Question yesterday.

MR. T. M. HEALY

was understood to ask whether the Government would establish a camp in Crete? [Laughter.]
