§ Loan BALCARRESI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that a court of inquiry reported in April last that the fatal accident to a charger in the Piershill Barracks, Edinburgh, was caused by the defective character of the stalls, any steps have been taken to remedy the faulty construction of these stables?
§ MR. BRODRICKIt would be difficult to remedy these stalls without rebuilding the barracks, but the General Officer commanding in Scotland has money at his disposal to make any necessary repairs.
§ MR. BRODRICKI believe they are 100 years old.
§ MR. BRODRICKI believe that the case will come under regulations which enable compensation to be given.
