§ MR. W. ALLANI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, with a view to the re-organisation of the personnel of the Department of Military Works and Buildings, whether the Government will appoint a composite Committee, comprised of representatives of the Treasury, and practical engineers, architects, and surveyors, for the purpose of inquiring into the present condition of affairs in that Department?
§ MR. BRODRICKThe Committee of Inquiry into the possibility of decentralising some of the work now carried on at the War Office is directing its attention 1366 to the Department of Military Works and Buildings, and the Secretary of State thinks that no advantage would be gained by the appointment of another Committee as suggested.
