HC Deb 28 March 1901 vol 92 cc47-8
MR. LAMBERT

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if four new forts are to be erected for the better defence of Cape Town; whether the Imperial Government will bear the cost; and, if so, what is the estimated amount.

* MR. BRODRICK

No, Sir. Nothing is known of the four new forts at Cape Town alluded to.
