HC Deb 29 July 1903 vol 126 cc679-80
MAJOR SEELY (Isle of Wight)

I beg to ask the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether it has been decided not to convert the barracks at East Cowes into an infectious hospital in connection with the Royal Naval College at Osborne.

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN,) Suffolk, Woodbridge

It has been decided, owing to the continued insanitary state of the foreshore at East Cowes not to carry out the proposed conversion of the barracks at the present time, but to erect a small infectious hospital on another site.
