HC Deb 24 March 1899 vol 69 c319
MR. BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War when the Return, ordered by the House on the 21st February, of further information on the purchase of land on Salisbury Plain by the Government, will be in the hands of Members?

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

The Return is not yet quite complete. It will be presented as soon as possible—probably in a few days.

MR. BAYLEY

But the valuers, before they valued the estate, must have had these Returns?

MR. POWELL WILLIAMS

That is not the case: they had not the Returns.
