HC Deb 01 February 1900 vol 78 cc275-6
MR. WARNER

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office if the purchase and construction of rifle ranges has been set aside during the press of work owing to the war, or if any progress has been made, and especially what progress has been made towards the range for Wittington Barracks, near Lichfield.

* MR. WYNDHAM

The purchase and construction of rifle ranges are proceeding, and are not affected by the war. The provisional order for the acquisition of land for the range at Lichfield has been signed, and the confirming Bill will be introduced in this House immediately.

MR. TOMLINSON (Preston)

Have the Government had under consideration the question of the improvement of the means of access to existing ranges?

* MR. WYNDHAM

I must ask for notice of that.
