HC Deb 21 April 1899 vol 70 c205
MR. GOULDING (Wilts, Devizes)

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the large employment of labour by the Government for works connected with Salisbury Plain is likely to be of a lasting character; and, if so, whether the Government proposes to erect huts or other suitable shelter for the workmen engaged near the place of employment?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. J. POWELL WILLIAMS, Birmingham, S.)

The completion of the works at present proceeding in the neighbourhood of Salisbury Plain is not likely to occupy much more time. In the event of other works being undertaken, the question of the accommodation available for the workmen employed will have to be considered.
