HC Deb 12 March 1897 vol 47 c574
SIR JAMES FERGUSSON (Manchester, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the sum of £1,200 taken in the Estimates for a canteen at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, includes provision for a recreation room?

MR. BRODRICK

A recreation room already exists which is used for performances, concerts, and lectures. It adjoins the canteen but is not connected with it. The sum of £1,200 will be expended on the canteen, and in improving its comfort and accommodation.

SIR J. FERGUSSON

Is my hon. Friend aware that there are 200 soldiers and servants at the Military College who have no place for recreation?

MR. BRODRICK

The question has been considered, and we were only able to go as far as the canteen this year.
