HC Deb 06 May 1901 vol 93 c739
*SIR JOHN COLOMB

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state how much of the million sterling provided under the Military Works Act, 1899, for works exclusive of armament, has been already spent, and whether the War Office still declines to give the House any information whatever as to the location of these works.

MR. BRODRICK

£225,000 has been spent up to 31st March. It is still considered inexpedient to give the information as to the location of the works.
