§ LORD CHARLES BERESFORD (York)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether the proposed additions to the Army will necessitate the building 944 of new barracks; whether the Government will consider the advisability of providing these new buildings somewhere in the north of England; and whether they will take into consideration the desirable situation of York as a suitable place for a military centre?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. J. POWELL WILLIAMS,) Birmingham, S.The selection of sites for the new barracks is being carefully considered, but it is not deemed advisable on mobilisation and other grounds to build barracks at York or in the north of England.
