§ *SIR J. COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State 425 for War whether it is intended to more fully utilise the barracks and twenty-one acres of War Office ground facing the sea at Great Yarmouth; and why only some half-dozen invalids have been sent there since his statement on 1st August last year that this was one of the barracks selected to receive convalescent soldiers.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMIn all cases recommended by the medical officers convalescents have been sent to the barracks at Great Yarmouth. The number of cases so sent is thirty-one. The value of the land as a piece of War Department property is fully recognised, but it is not possible to determine the best method of turning it to account except in connection with a general scheme of distribution.
